Howdy, Cowboy!
Meet our newest foster dog: Cowboy Cody! Cowboy is a male German Shepherd mix. He weighs just about 45 pounds and could stand to gain another 5 or so. The shelter thinks he's a full grown adult, maybe 1-2 years old. His teeth, eyes, ears, and coat look great. Cowboy was turned in to DeKalb County Animal Services by a citizen who found him near Stone Mountain on November 28, 2012. The shelter staff named him Cowboy and it seems to suit him really well. He needed something a little extra, so we came up with Cody because that was Buffalo Bill's real last name. He kind of looks like a coyote, so naming him after the king of the Wild West seemed appropriate.
The shelter vet just neutered Cowboy today, so we haven't seen much of his personality yet since he's so groggy. He threw up in the car on the way home and has been sleeping in the living room ever since. He should feel better tomorrow. We introduced all three of our dogs who range from 10 to 50 pounds and it went very well. Nobody had issues, least of all Cowboy. He just laid there and let them sniff him. I'm curious to see how the dynamics between them develop as he begins to feel better.
Cowboy is a very sweet guy. He is really comfortable around people and he loves belly rubs. Unfortunately, Cowboy is heartworm positive. Thanks to Friends of DeKalb Animals and See Spot Rescued, he will be treated while resting comfortably with us. Once he is recovered and heartworm-free, Cowboy will go on transport to See Spot Rescued in Jersey City, NJ where he will wait for his forever home. This is the same group that rescued Barkley and we are so excited and grateful that they think Cowboy is awesome, too! Stay tuned to hear much more about Cowboy as he feels better. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these photos that show just how gorgeous this boy really is! If you are interested in adopting Cowboy once his heartworm treatment is complete, please email seespotrescued@gmail.com
