Looking For a Cowboy? Dog of the Week

Lonestar is looking for a new ranch.

Howdy!  

Yee-haa! My name is Lonestar and boy am I just thrilled to meet you! This cowboy is a 10 week old bundle of pure energy. I’m a puppy so that means I love to play, play, play.  

The highlight of my day is meeting new people and I have been known to cry when my new best friends put me down. That probably explains why I’m not alone in any of the pictures.

How did I get to be such a handsome young chap?  You should see my mommy Dallas – she is a stunning brindle coat boxer. My poor mommy came into the shelter only a few days before giving birth. Everyone was surprised when one adorable little pup popped out.  Needless to say, I instantly became the lone-star of the shelter!  

Get it? Ha ha.
