LOBO

*LOBO* IN A NUTSHELL: Very large, beautiful senior boy. Very shy and unsocialized with people.

We were contacted in late December by a neighbor of Lobo's owner, "Paul," who was losing his home at 84 years of age and having to move into smaller quarters where Lobo could not follow. We were asked if we could find somewhere for Lobo in our rescue. When we asked for photos, the kind neighbor sent a few:   Not wanting Lobo to go into a boarding situation, we posted him on our website and prayed that someone would be ready, willing and able to help. Our prayers were answered when foster mom Lynn emailed and said she would provide Lobo with a foster home. UPDATE 1/24: We were finally able to go and meet Lobo today accompanied by potential foster mom Lynn and her friend, Deb. He was very hesitant about meeting us, but once we asked Paul to go back into the house and leave us outside with Lobo, he calmed down and immediately started to warm up to Lynn (thanks to the delicious treats she had brought with her). We then walked Lobo out into the front of the house where Paul said his goodbyes. We had been concerned about getting Lobo into Lynn's vehicle, but as soon as she opened the door ... he jumped right in and was ready to go for a ride!! "Goodbye old friend" FOSTER UPDATES: Lynn reports that Lobo is settling in very well and has become comfortable with her, but he still hides when anyone (even Deb) comes into the home. She is going to work on socialization, which has been sadly lacking for poor Lobo.   Unfortunately, Lynn has discovered that Lobo's teeth are in very bad shape. Some of them are even black and his gums are red and swollen. She will be taking him to her vet for a thorough exam, but having quite a bit of experience with senior dogs' teeth, in our considered opinion, at the very least, Lobo will need a full dental and removal of the dead teeth. This is a huge expense (upwards of $2,000) that we did not expect, nor can we afford, so we are asking for help. Any amount would help Lobo.   Click on Lobo's photo to make a donation to help him Thank you for helping me!
