My name is Bowser and I’m taking applications to adopt a human who will give me the life I’ve always wished for and deserve!
I am the perfect companion for an introvert (or should we say dogtrovert), who prefers canines to people! I love the company of dogs and I’ve learned to accept patient humans, who give me time and space to earn my trust. Before being brought to the safety of the shelter, life for me was scary and made me very weary of people. The great news is I’ve come a long way learning to trust when given proper introductions.
My soulful eyes and silly personality will melt your heart. Toys are my love language, especially squeaky ones! I love going for walks, car rides and I’m a great snuggler. At just 4-1/2 years old, I’m the perfect package of playfulness, affection and curiosity, looking for nothing more than your approval (and more new toys!).
I have enjoyed many play dates with fellow shelter pups and my confidence soars with a buddy. It would be amazing if my forever home has a canine sibling for me! I have met a few kitties, which I find interesting, but with proper introductions and a dog-savvy feline, I think we could peacefully share a home.
I need a quiet adult home, without lots of unexpected visitors, as I need time to relax with proper introductions to new faces. I don’t like surprises and sudden movements but I’m the kind of guy who forms strong bonds with those I trust.
If you meet my requirements, I would like to meet and adopt you! Fill out an application and ask to meet Bowser!

Please be aware that the adoption process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the information we need to cover with you and the number of pets going home at the same time. We know this is a time commitment, but your new pet will appreciate it!

Every dog or cat that is adopted from PMHS is up to date with required vaccinations and microchipped.

More about this shelter
After 35 years, our organization is now officially known as Pope Memorial Humane Society. Though we have a new name, logo, and facility, it is important to keep in mind that we are the same organization at our core. Our staff, volunteers, and operations remain the same, as does our unfailing commitment to saving the lives of animals in need. We will continue to serve Strafford County and the surrounding areas of New Hampshire and southern Maine with the same dedication. Though we are proud of the growth and impact we have made in the last 35 years as Cocheco Valley Humane Society, we look forward to this new chapter in our organization’s story.
