Story
Lobo is new to the shelter and he is alone now that his friend got adopted. I found this frightened boy curled up in the corner whining and afraid of strangers. Yet after 5 minutes of sitting away from him in the kennel, and talking to him, he warmed up to me he crawled in my lap and was very cuddly allowing me to carry him around and take him for a walk. Walks well on a leash, adorable and sweet boy. A real find for someone wanting a small dog. He is 5 yrs old, and weighs 8 lbs. Possibly Papillon. He can be seen in the puppy room at Silver city High Desert shelter.
