My personality

My story

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

Cowboy came into rescue with his two siblings, Hank The Tank and Spooky, also listed. The pups were found as strays along with their mother at a very young age. Their finder stated that they were nearly hairless and bloated from worms. They kept them until they were old enough to be weaned from mom and treated them for all of their issues. They attempted to find homes for the pups (they kept mom) but were unsuccessful and asked is to help get these youngsters adopted.We think their birthdate was around 7/28/24. Of course, we don't have exact dates since they were strays but that was the best guesstimate. We also are thinking that the pups are great dane/catahoula and probably a few other breeds in the mix too but they are big puppies for their age. They aren't extremely tall but solid, sturdy dogs. May have some lab in there somewhere too. They are friendly pups who love attention. They also love to eat!We feel that they would do well with older kids (because of their size) and other dogs. We are unsure of cats but if adopted young enough, they should be able to socialize and successfully enter a cat home also. They are still young pups so they have a lot to learn. They will require training as they are not yet housetrained or crate trained and do not yet know a leash. They will also need to learn proper doggie etiquette and "manners" to become the best dogs that they can be. They will want to chew so be sure to have lots of appropriate toys and chew items to keep them busy and not chewing on things you don't want them to. Being big dogs, they will need a fenced yard, outings to dog parks or regular walls to get the exercise, outside space and play time they need. We feel that they will be wonderful companions with the right guidance and experiences.
Cowboy saw the vet on 12/30/24 and was found to an ear infection and ge was given Claro Otic in both ears to treat. He has been started on Simparica Trio for flea control and heartworm prevention but he is still too young for a heartworm test. He can continue to be maintained on monthly prevention (like Simparica Trio or prevention of your choice) until old enough to be tested or his annual checkup. He did test positive for hookworms and roundworms on his fecal so we have given him a Drontal for the intestinal parasites. He may need a follow up in 3 weeks. Cowboy weighed 36.8 pounds as of 12/30/24. At only 5 months of age, he still has a lot of growing to do and we anticipate that he will be a big boy.
If interested in giving Cowboy his forever home, please submit your interest and your adoption application via email or text ONLY to 352-215-3260 (phone calls will not be answered or returned from this number). Cowboy's adoption fee will be $200 to help cover the cost of his vetting and daily care while with us. We will only consider applicants who complete the adoption application and will determine whether the applicant would be a good fit for Cowboy based on the info provided in the application. If we feel that you will be a good match for him, we will set up a meet and greet appointment with you.

More about this rescue

We are a small rescue started in September 2004. To date, we have adopted out over 1,000 dogs and cats who may not have had a second chance. We rescue the majority of our pets from kill shelters and have them thoroughly vetted prior to going to their new homes. All of our pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, heartworm checked(dogs) and dewormed. We also microchip our dogs so that they can always find their way home. Big and small, we work to rehome them all. We are always in need of donations so if you can help us to help our pets, please contact us! The more people who get involved, the more pets that we can save! You can also see our pets and/or fill out our adoption application on www.petfinder.com. We look forward to hearing from you and making that "forever match"!
