About Cowboy

Cowboy is a 7-year-old Australian Shepherd who ended up at the shelter when he was just a year old. His early life lacked socialization and training, and though he's been adopted multiple times, he often returned. Cowboy keeps his kennel clean during the day, suggesting that he'll adapt quickly to being housetrained. He's intelligent and with some patience and dedication, he'll learn new skills. This loyal boy prefers a quiet environment and would thrive with a single woman who can provide him the space he craves. He can be particular, so building trust will take some time, but in return, Cowboy offers deep loyalty and companionship. If you think you can give Cowboy the home he deserves, apply now!
