My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bowie is 5.5 years old and will be 6 in December. He weighs 60 pounds but is lean and relatively lanky. We rescued him at 4 months old. He is house trained and is non-destructive so we don't crate him although he does get separation anxiety. He is loving and a big couch potato when in the house. I will pay $100+ a month for the rest of his life if the right person adopts him.

We are looking for someone with a backyard who doesn't have any toddlers or babies. He loves to sprint around the backyard and wouldn't need to be walked if you have one. Walking him is difficult as he is very reactive on the leash and feels threatened by any people walking close. He does well at dog parks but not well on a leash.

His biggest issue is with strangers coming over. He shows aggression unless he gets to know them. Best way is to have them meet him immediately when you first adopt him and spend time with them early while he's acclimating. My wife and I just had a baby and need him adopted asap.
