Cowgirl gets second chance, new family

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”
— Cowgirl, a German Shepherd/Australian Shepherd special blend, who sometimes quotes Maya Angelou

She was a puppy scheduled to be euthanized at Baytown Animal Shelter when her forever family adopted Cowgirl.

“The idea was to have a dog that my daughter could grow up with. The dog has actually gotten a lot bigger than we thought she was going to. She finished her first day of training at Petco.”
