He adapts quickly wherever he goes, just as happy sauntering through the neighborhood as he is riding along in the car or lounging with you on the couch. Cowboy is neutered, house trained, and up to date on his vaccines. He does well with other dogs and gets along with kids, making him a strong fit for a relaxed yet active home. The details of his past are murky, but he’s shown a genuine desire to belong and trust.
