About

Meet Lobo

Welcome Lobo from Tulare County Animal Services. This guy unfortunately was an owner surrender. It appears he was adopted from this same shelter as a pup and then returned 6 months later. This is not uncommon - that cute little puppy turns into a dog with mental and physical needs that when put in inexperienced or “too busy” hands…or any of the other excuses we hear on a daily basis…it’s problematic. This guy lost his puppyhood. Good news, it’s not too late! Lobo is only 8 months old and has plenty of potential. We promised we wouldn’t fail him this time around. Here is what his foster has to report after only a few hours: “Ok. We have been home for a bit…this guy is WOW so far! Just got done with a gentle play session. He loves tug, chase, and toys of all kinds. Very food motivated. He has a very soft mouth, but he does like to use it (as if he’s still a pup). So far, an easy correction is all he needs. I sat with him after play time and he immediately sat on my lap. He is certainly a lap dog. He could use a toy nearby at all times to help alleviate stress and the ‘chewies.’ He absolutely loves the kiddie pool and playing in water. He might be part fish.” We know from shelter staff that he is people and dog friendly. He is a 45lb cattle dog mix, microchipped, neutered, and UTD on vaccines. Lobo is in Atascadero, CA More photos and updates:  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1551057509189231&type=3 Interested in Lobo?  Please complete an application at: http://bit.ly/CCHDR_App
