About Cowboy

Meet Cowboy, a spirited 2-year-old Shih Tzu mix who is ready to find his forever home in New England. Hailing from Tennessee, this sweet 12-pound boy survived a tough situation where he found himself alone after his owner passed away. Cowboy is all about affection and companionship, making him the perfect partner for cozy days spent at home. He’s calm and gets along well with other dogs, so he would fit in nicely with a family that has kids or other pets. While he’s still learning the ropes of house training, Cowboy is eager to please and will benefit from some guidance in this area. A belly band might be a handy tool as he settles into his new environment. Cowboy's coat is currently a bit thin due to fleas, but with proper care and preventatives, he’ll be looking his best in no time. Cowboy is up to date on vaccinations and has been neutered. He’s ready for the next adventure in his life, and you could be the one to give it to him! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
