Cowboy

Cowboy might currently tips the scales at 73 pounds but it’s 73 pounds of of pure love. He’s currently on a weight-loss journey to become his healthiest self. When Cowboy entered rescue, this sweet boy was struggling to breathe, so we got him the care he needed: nares and soft-palate surgery. The difference was almost instant — Cowboy could finally breathe comfortably and enjoy life again which will help him be a little more active to lose weight! He may still saw a few logs in his sleep, but trust us, it’s nothing but adorable.

Cowboy is a total snuggle bug who just wants to be where you are. He’s happy to follow you around but not the type to smother you — if you’re in the same room, he’s content entertaining himself but when you get up to leave, he wants to follow. His first friend in our foster care program was a 15-pound pug and he was so gentle with her. So don’t let his size fool you — he’s a gentle giant at heart.

This sweet guy is crate trained, house trained, food-motivated, and super easy to medicate. His foster has even left him uncrated overnight in the office, and he’s proven to be very well-mannered and non-destructive.

Cowboy’s adorable underbite is guaranteed to make you smile, and his coat is so soft it practically begs to be petted. 💛 He’s the perfect mix of affectionate and independent — and truly, one of those dogs that makes every day brighter.

Important Note: Cowboy cannot be adopted into a home with a swimming pool due to drowning risks. Thank you for wanting the best for Cowboy!
