Meet Laredo, a 100+ pound friendly, gentle & cautiously curious boy. He was born in 2014(ish), and he is most likely a German shepherd & Alaskan malamute mix.

He was adopted by our friend Scotty in 2018 from a local rescue, which had pulled him from an animal shelter as a "stray" in Ocala, FL. Before Scotty died he told his daughter that she and I would need to "fight it out" for who keeps Laredo. There was definitely no fighting, only gracious discussion. His daughter took Scotty's other dog (Gypsy / Whiskey) back to Denver and we get to keep Laredo! We are fortunate Laredo lived on our property with Scott for the past few months, so he was already meeting all the animals and kids. Now we just need to get used to seeing this gigantic guy in our house.
