Animal Information: Cowboy is a 2-year-old, 100-pound sweetheart (his ideal weight is around 80 pounds) who came to Washington after being adopted directly from a Texas rescue. He has a rock-solid temperament and is friendly with dogs, people, and other animals.

Unfortunately, Cowboy's previous placement wasn't the right fit. He was adopted by an elderly woman in her 80s who wasn't able to walk or exercise him. As a result, Cowboy gained weight and wasn't getting his needs met.

After evaluating this beautiful boy, we committed to helping him find a more suitable home where he can truly thrive. Despite his size, Cowboy is easygoing and not difficult to walk. He's a gentle, affectionate dog who enjoys companionship and would make a wonderful addition to the right family.

His ideal home would be with someone who has experience with large breed dogs and lives in a single-family residence. While Cowboy hasn't lived with children during his time in Washington, he has met several and consistently displayed soft, relaxed body language.

Cowboy is ready for a fresh start with a family who can give him the exercise, structure, and love he deserves.

Foster Profile: Cowboy is a lovely goofy guy who would love kids of all ages -- but he's a big guy so could knock down a little kid inadvertently--and he's social with dogs too. He's a really nice mix of energy and snuggle and rest -- take him for a nice hike and then snuggle and watch tv when you get home! He does get excited about rabbits and squirrels on walks, and we are working on that (and can help you learn how to keep working on that). He's a fast learner! He is crate and potty trained and an all around great guy! Cowboy would love a dog buddy in his new home, but would also be ok as a single dog.

Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166).
