I met Cowboy and his owner in the lobby of the care center. He had already a  big crowd of admirers that keeps growing…”What a dog !” Truly a masterpiece ! A sizable American Bulldog mix with a cow print coat, hence the name….CowBoy… CowBoy is with us for no fault of his own. His landlord said….No Big Dog in the house. Very reluctantly and with a heavy heart, his owner brought him to us asking us to find for his pet..a house full of love. CowBoy is indeed quite an endearing big dog…He was crying like a baby, his paw on his master’s lap. It was as pitiful as looking at a grown man cry…After being collared, he followed the staff, looking back at his former owner and barked intensely in his kennel for quite a while…Today, CowBoy was calm and collected. He did not mind the leash, pulled a bit until he was able to relieve himself, then sat and laid for a belly rub, just like he did with the staff who initially welcomed him…Can we say that such a huge dog is cute ? We surely can…Cowboy comes with endearing comments from his former family. He was owned since tender puppyhood, is a “big baby”, very affectionate and playful and is very tolerant of kids and …cats.He loves to be bathed…He would bark at small pooches, though and might not get along with other large male dogs. Something to take into consideration when adopting or rescuing CowBoy. Nobody is perfect, we all have our flaws, it is a matter of working around obstacles when an amazing gem is at stake… CowBoy is at the Manhattan Care Center. Come and meet him soon and make him yours.
PROFILE

Cowboy is an amazingly massive American Bulldog and Pit-bull mix. He is 7 years old. His former owner got him from a friend when he was just a small pup. He was surrenderd to MACC because his owner was told he cannot have a dog of Cowboy’s size in his apartment.

SOCIALIZATION

Cowboy is a big baby. He loves people. He is very playful with adults. He is very tolerant of kids. Sometimes Cowboy doesn’t realize his own size. He tends to jump up when he is existed. Overall Cowboy is a gentle, lovable dog. He does bark at other small dogs. His former owner mentioned multiple times that he does not get along other other large, male dogs. He has growled at them in the past. Cowboy is very tolerant of cats.

BEHAVIOR

Cowboy has never bitten another animal or human. He doesn’t mind if someone touches his food bowl while he is eating. He doesn’t mind if someone takes a treat from him. If you can find a bath tub big enough to fit him, Cowboy seems to enjoy a good bath.

FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW

Cowboy is described as a very affectionate and mellow dog. He really does love attention. He is a master of catching treats and loves a good belly rub. His activity level is medium. He loves to play with balls and loves to go to the park to find tree branches. He has been kept mostly indoors. He is used to a mix of wet and dry food. He was normally fed around 8:00 a.m. and again at 4:30 p.m. He loves beef sticks and almost any other type of treat. Cowboy will look for open grass outside when he needs to go to the bathroom. He knows how to sit, give paw and get down on command. He does tend to pull on the leash when he has to go to the bathroom. Cowboy is an amazing, smart and loveable dog. He deserves a home full of love.
