About Cowboy

Cowboy is a remarkable survivor, just about 2 years old, with a past that is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Once a bait dog, he endured unimaginable cruelty, leaving scars that tell a story of resilience. When he was found, he was shaken and terrified, having been tied to a pole and abandoned. Yet, despite his painful history, Cowboy has been rescued and is now safe. He has received vital medical care, is neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. Cowboy is a large male who shows caution around new dogs but does get along with them and he is also good with children. Understandably, he may take some time to warm up to men, reflecting the impact of his earlier experiences. This brave boy deserves a loving home where he can finally feel secure and cherished. His adoption fee is $550, which includes transport to the Midwest, Northeast, or Southeast. Are you the one who can give Cowboy the love he deserves? Let your heart be Cowboy's new home.
