About Cowboy

Meet Cowboy, a delightful young dog weighing 24 lbs, estimated to be about a year old. While we don't know his exact background, his foster mom suspects he has some Jack Russell Terrier in him, thanks to his energetic spirit and playful nature. Cowboy is a bit shy when he first meets people. However, give him a few days, and he'll become your loyal companion. His early life didn’t involve much socialization, but he's working on his manners. He thrives when around other dogs, enjoying exuberant play and snuggles. Having another dog in his new home would be ideal for his confidence. He also gets along famously with cats and would do well in a home with kids aged 8 and up who understand dog behavior. Cowboy is house trained and crate trained, though he needs some leash training, which he’s picking up quickly. He enjoys car rides and is always ready for an adventure, embracing new experiences with enthusiasm. Cowboy is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, vaccinated, and up to date on heartworm and flea/tick preventatives.
