Howdy! I'm Cowboy, and I'm looking for my home on the range. Or in the city. Or anywhere with a big comfy couch and people. I love exploring and I always gotta know what's going on! I'm pretty good in my crate, but if I can hear people outside, I'll wanna come out and join the party. Another thing you should know is that I love water. I'd make a pretty cool lake dog! If that sounds good to you, apply to meet me now!
