We got the call on Lobo when he was only 6 months old.  The story relayed was that the older couple had bought him on the side of the road for $50 in Chipley, FL from a man named Wayne.  They tried making him an inside dog.  Their matching furniture still matched…but it was shredded.  They tried chaining him out and he chewed through the harness, so they resorted to making a harness out of chainlink.  

We know of only one place in the small town of Chipley that has wolfdogs, let alone higher content wolfdogs.  

They do breed, claiming to only breed for research programs.  Local animal control officers have many stories about animals supposedly from this facility and we have run into several in rescue.   Documentation is lacking, however, so nothing can be proven one way or another. 
 

We strongly encourage people to check out their chosen "non-profit" as many places seem to be able to skate by under this umbrella, even when contributing to the rescue problems.  Lobo has grown into a kind and patient leader of his pack, showing restraint in corrections and warming up fairly quickly to new volunteers.  He used to go on educational outings but has since decided to leave that role up to someone else.
