Animal Profile: Cowboy is an estimated 1 year old male black lab mix who joined us from New Mexico on July 4th. He currently weighs 50 pounds. He is being transferred from a new rescue partner from a New Mexico Shelter, where they report Cowboy is a friendly boy. We will post more info as we get to know him.

Foster Update: 

Cowboy is a great dog. He is very beautiful, very soft with lovely, amber-colored eyes. Photos do not do him justice. Cowboy is good with adults, dog respectful kids 9 and up, and other dogs. 
Cowboy would be happiest in a home with a playful female dog or smaller male dog.



Cowboy would make a great hiking or walking buddy, and possibly a running buddy once he gets a bit older.



Cowboy will "talk" when he gets excited. He will let out little grunts, chortles and whines when I am preparing his food, about to let him out of his crate, and when he is playing with the resident dog. He occasionally barks in exciting situations but is otherwise quiet.



 Cowboy is quiet in the car and calmly lays down in his crate, and he is working on his leash manners.



Cowboy knows "sit" and "no". He seems to be a quick learner, he picked up on the name game and some agility exercises very quickly. Combined with his high food motivation, I believe he will be an easy dog to train.
