About Cowboy

Meet Cowboy, a timid but affectionate 4-year-old chiweenie weighing 11 pounds. Coming from a challenging past with over 70 dogs in a hoarding situation, he’s learning to trust and thrive in his foster home. He gently asks for pets and eagerly accepts treats, showing great progress. Cowboy will do best with a fenced yard and needs another dog for companionship as he continues to gain confidence. We recommend a home without children, as his shy demeanor may not be suited for young ones. While he requires time and patience, the bond you’ll form with Cowboy will be incredibly rewarding. Cowboy is neutered, current on all vaccinations, microchipped, and adheres to a monthly prevention regimen. His adoption fee is supported at $400, which covers his care up to this point.
