My personality

My story

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

I am Bowie (like David Bowie!), and I am hoping to find my forever person to love me and enjoy life with! I just turned 1, 48 lbs, and adorable 🙂
I was rescued from Downey Shelter right before Christmas, hours before they were going to euthanize me. Now, my foster mom is helping me find my forever home! My foster family has a toddler that I adore, so I would do great in a home with kids! I love playing fetch with toys! I am a snuggle bug and love to give kisses and cuddle. I would do best in a home with another dog who is looking for a buddy to play with, but I would be okay as a solo dog too!
I am working on a few things daily, with my new trainer! I am scared of large trucks due to my life before the shelter, so I am sometimes fearful on walks by streets with car traffic, but I am improving every day on this! I can now walk a longer distance and am able to move past my fears and enjoy myself
My trainer says I am showing a lot of progress, and I am a quick learner! I am working with her on my leash reactivity too. I can be reactive on a leash when I see other dogs, as I want to play, and I get really excited since I’m a pup still. My trainer says I will continue to get better at this and overcome it with training. I do love playing and interacting with other dogs and do great at the dog park with dogs of all sizes! I have lived with a large pitbull and got along really well with him too!
I would love to find a home with a fully fenced yard so I can enjoy running around in a backyard to burn energy and enjoy the sun! I am up to date on my vaccines and potty trained! My foster mom is getting me neutered July 1st, as I just turned 1!
If I sound like a good match for you, I would love to meet you! Love, Bowie
