My story

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

Fostered in Southern WI
Fenced yard required
Meet Bowie, a 9-month-old boy who is full of life and energy.

Bowie is a smart boy and a quick learner. He is very treat motivated and is therefore pretty easy to train. He is quick to learn new commands and already knows sit, stay, and come. He will even ring a bell to go outside! Not only does he let you know when it’s time to go out, he will also let you know when it’s dinner time. Foodie that he is, he likes his meals served in a timely manner, but he’s a good boy and will politely sit and wait. At bed time, he goes to his bed and is trustworthy during the night. Just make sure you put your socks away.

Bowie is a sweet young boy that is lacking confidence. His ideal forever home would be one that will take him to training and work with him on confidence building activities. Bowie is a Velcro dog; he loves to be talked to and cuddled with. He has quickly bonded with his foster mom. A quiet home is what he needs.

Bowie plays very hard with other dogs which can be too much for them. He needs firm reminders to play nice and mind his manners with other dog friends. He’s a bit protective over food and some toys. For this reason, we believe he would do best as the only dog in the house.

Bowie doesn’t like loud or unexpected sounds. He gets startled easily and will bark. With time and patience, he will get used to new sounds and experiences. Because of this, he would do best in a quieter home with a fenced yard. Bowie has developed a fear of some men. His ideal forever home would be with a female or with a family who will be patient in developing a relationship with him.

If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, best pal and companion who will remind you why it’s necessary to put your socks away, young Bowie is just the pup for you.
