My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Fearful, abused.

Cowboy and Fancy were surrendered to our rescue by family of the original owner.  She was placed into a care facility for dementia. Before surrender, a relative was supposed to be coming by and 'checking on' the poor lady and 'caring' for the dogs.  That didn't happen on a regular basis.  As a result, both of these precious pups suffered neglect.  When it DID happen, I suspect they also suffered abuse.  Cowboy is fearful and mistrusting.  He shies away from the hand, circles his enclosure and struggles against love.  He needs a patient, loving home where he can learn how to be loved again.  Neither dog was altered, nor housetrained.  He's not the least bit aggressive.
