Here's what the humans have to say about me:
*****Adoption Pending*****
Update 12/6/14: "So far, Cowboy seems to be 100% in all respects. He is the most non-reactive Aussie I have ever met. He has plenty of pep for playing chase with other dogs and plenty of love for snuggling with humans!! It is a bit overwhelming to have all 76 pounds in your lap but he is working on that. He demonstrates a lot of herding moves and will need an active life style .Of course, he needs plenty of laying around the house, as well. Did I mention that he is great in the house(he is an expert counter surfer) and in a crate. He is quite comfortable on the deck outside by the door."
Here's Cowboy, a sturdy, handsome, standard-sized blue merle boy. He is 5 years old and neutered. He was relinquished by his owner because he wouldn't stay home. He spent most of his time locked up in a cold barn which kept him from getting shot by hunters in the wilds of rural Wisconsin. In spite of this he is house broke, crate broke and craves a home where he can soak up the attention he deserves. He loves everyone, especially men. He sits on command and has almost a one hundred percent recall to his name!!
Cowboy will need a fenced yard in his new home.
