Story
Loba was given to me when I lived down in Houston, Texas. I had a friend who just couldn’t continue caring for her so he offered her to me. I was single at the time and lived with two pit bull terriers of my own. When I seen how beautiful she was, I couldn’t resist taking her in as my own! As we got to know each other, I came to see that Loba was much more than just beautiful, she was also very lovable and eager to please. To this day, she is so excited to see her family come home and greets us warmly! Loba’s ideal perfect day looks like a brisk long walk/ bike ride on a trail with, preferably, a beautiful and exciting scenery so she can stick her nose everywhere and explore. After that, playing a game of catch would be the cherry on top! If your perfect day looks anything like Loba’s, I would encourage you to give her a chance and consider meeting her for yourself or better yet, taking her in as your own!
