Update Your Résumé
“LOBO” is a 3-year-old Alaskan
husky and shepherd mix who
arrived as a stray. This boy can
be afraid of new people, so he
needs to go to a home with kids
over the age of 12, and no cats.
Lobo has met dogs at the shelter
and did great with them, but a
meet-and-greet with other canine
family members is required
before he goes to his new home.
Is this elegant dog the one you’ve
been seeking? Come meet Lobo!
