Tuesday's Tails: Adopt Cowboy!

I've mentioned before how much I respect the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and the work they do, and one of the top goals on my "bucket list" is to visit Utah specifically to volunteer there.  I check their list of adoptable animals at least once a month...even though I know we aren't able to bring another pet into our home at this time, I still love to browse :D  (My husband always knows when I'm checking out pet adoption sites because I keep squealing and "awww"-ing!)

Of course, all of the dogs featured win me over in their own way.  But this time, a unique mix named Cowboy caught my eye, and I just had to share him with you!


Check. Out. Those. Ears.  I can't get enough!  This photo absolutely melts my heart.

From the Best Friends page:  "Cowboy is a little man with big ears, a big heart, and a great smile.  He's very outgoing, bonding quickly with new people, and playing nicely with other dogs.  Born in 2006, Cowboy is at an age where he equally enjoys his playtime and relaxation time.  The poor boy was found tied to a car in a hot parking lot, and his people never returned for him.  Now he's looking for someone who will never leave him.  Could that be you?"

At approximately 8 years old, Cowboy is considered a senior dog.  My Riley is about the same age, and I can definitely vouch for the fact that 8 is a great age!  Riley loves both playing and sleeping, and it sounds like the same is true of Cowboy.  

The website calls him an Affenpinscher/Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) - isn't that crazy?!  Not sure where the Affenpinscher comes in...any ideas?  Cowboy is a nice mid-sized fella, and he would make someone an amaaaazing pet!  Since his new furrever home can't be mine...could it be yours?  Contact the Best Friends Animal Society for more information!

  4. Oh those ears! I can't handle it! I love to 'browse' too. Nick knows that when I pull out my phone he has to remind me that we have a two animal limit.

  5. What a great photo and Best Friends is a wonderful organization. My wife and I went and volunteered there a couple of years ago. It was amazing to see how large the property was and all the ways that they help.

    1. Agree. I don't understand people. Dogs are such trusting and unconditionally loving creatures; how people can abuse and neglect them is just beyond me. Thanks so much for sharing <3
