Vaquero is a 5-year-old black mouth cur mix who weighs 46 lbs. He was found in October 2025 in Edinburg, a small town along the Texas/Mexico border, in dire condition with severe mange and dangerously underweight. Thankfully, Vaquero has made a remarkable recovery and is now a completely transformed dog. The once shy and scared pup is now happy to greet everyone he meets, loves to be petted, and enjoys receiving affection. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs of all sizes and has also shown he's fine with cats. Vaquero would do great in a home with older, gentle children, as he prefers to relax and hang out rather than engage in rambunctious play – he's the ultimate "Netflix and chill" companion, always ready for TV, treats, and naps. He also loves car rides and watching the world go by from the window. Vaquero is house-trained and is now ready for the chance at a loving, forever home.
