COWBOY: Lucky dog, lucky people!
|
When Cowboy first came our way, we could see that he was a beautiful, well-bred German
Shepherd. What we didn't see immediately was his unpredictable behavior with other
dogs. Even though his hostility toward his fellow dog was not hopeless, it was
decided, reluctantly, that he could not be made available for adoption at our County
facility. Our rescue coordinator, a volunteer, called the wonderful people at El Dorado County German Shepherd Rescue, and they agreed to take him and find him a home. Now, Cowboy is home forever. Here he is with his family. Note the ball in his mouth in the photo with his 'Dad'. Looks like Cowboy did all right for himself, thanks to all the folks who make these Happy Endings happen. Thanks, from the bottom of our hearts.
