About Cowboy

Cowboy is looking for a loving home. He’s currently in boarding and safe but really needs a place to call his own. This gentle Cairn Terrier has formed a special bond with Timber, a Chessie/Chocolate Lab. They are close companions, great with kids, and friendly with everyone they meet. While Cowboy is affectionate and sweet, he will need some guidance with crate training and establishing a potty routine. Both dogs are currently kenneled together and would benefit from a consistent schedule. Ask about how you can help them stay together or the details on our foster-to-adopt program. He’s neutered and vaccinated. If you think Cowboy could be a good fit for your family, call us today!
