Cowgirl's Story

Courtesy listing:<br/>Cowgirl is a 4-year-old, 75-pound spayed female who I rescued from a high-kill shelter in Modesto when she was euthanasia-listed simply because they needed space. I never intended to keep her permanently since I already had two dogs and a cat, but she's been in my care for the last almost 3 years now. She was adopted once, but returned to me a few months later after the couple who adopted her broke up. Then my now ex wanted to keep her but refused to take responsibility for her when we broke up..<br/>I'm now living in an apartment in San Francisco and she is not doing well here. I know she deserves more space and a life that better matches her innate talents and personality.<br/>Cowgirl is DNA tested and is primarily Great Pyrenees, Maremma Sheepdog, Anatolian Shepherd, German Shepherd, with a little Labrador and Husky mixed in. We've worked with experienced livestock guardian and herding dog trainers on a local farm, and both said she has excellent natural livestock guardian instincts. She's been introduced to sheep, chickens, and horses and took to the environment naturally.<br/>She'd thrive on a property where she has room to roam, a job to do, and is still very much part of the family.<br/>A little about Cowgirl:<br/>4 years old, 75 lbs, spayed, vaccinated<br/>Extremely healthy, pristine teeth, no medical issues<br/>Very affectionate, loyal, and deeply bonded to her people<br/>Friendly with new people, great at the vet<br/>Great with other dogs, cats, and children<br/>House trained and crate trained<br/>Good recall<br/>Doesn't jump or climb fences<br/>Highly intelligent and picked up agility almost immediately<br/>Naturally alert with a deep bark and absolutely hates coyotes<br/>Rides well in the car<br/>Loves hiking, exploring, and being outdoors<br/>Does not enjoy swimming or bodies of water<br/>A trial period is absolutely possible. I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to drive within Northern California (or beyond) to help make the right match happen.<br/>If you think Cowgirl might be a fit for your family or know someone who has been looking for a loyal companion with livestock guardian instincts, please message us!
