About Cowgirl

Meet Cowgirl, the rootin'-est, tootin'-est pup from Tennessee! This charming 2-year-old Shih Tzu mix weighs in at 7 pounds and is on her way to New England with no extra travel fees. Sadly left behind when her owner passed, she's ready to lasso her way into your heart and bring joy to your life. Cowgirl is affectionate and enjoys cuddling in laps. She's friendly with other little dogs and loves to meet new people, so she's bound to fit right in with your family. While we're unsure if she's met cats, Cowgirl gets along well with children as long as they steer clear of trouble! She's a social butterfly but will need a little help with house training, although she’s good with crates. Some past flea issues might leave her with a few itchy spots, but she's getting the care she needs to be your perfect companion.
