My name is Loba. I’m a beautiful German shepherd, who has lived an impressive 17-years age. Unfortunately, I’m afraid that I can’t enjoyed the twilight（黄昏） of my life in the comfort of a home now. My former family who owned me for more than 5 years had to give me up, because they couldn’t afford the care I need. They said that I could spend most of my time outdoors, but it’s not ideal. I think an indoor situation will be preferable for my aged body, as I have the aches and pains that come with getting older. 

I am not naughty. I’m not noisy and I’m easy to get along with. I can play with kids and I’m going to be good with other dogs or cats. I don’t need to eat too much, especially meat. Milk will be good for me. I am not able to run fast, but you can take me to walk for a while after dinner. I promise I will not be troublesome. All I need is someone who can be with me in my rest of life as I am afraid to be alone. Here is my information card.
