Loreto is a very sweet Labrador Retriever mix who made the journey to our home from the town plaza in Loreto, Mexico. He is already house trained and does well with his crate and is a good sleeper. We are teaching him to walk on a leash. He has only been are home a short time however he is adjusting well except he has been very obsessed and fixated with our elderly cats. He would be a great addition to a home without cats or small animals.
