My story

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

Bowie was a rescue that we have loved having in our family for the past 4 years. He is about 5.5 years old and loves snuggling on the couch, playing outside, and going on walks. Bowie enjoys being around friendly people and wants to please and show you his tricks. Bowie is very protective of his home and family and would do well with a home that has lots of space from neighbors. Bowie's ideal home would have older calm children or just parents.

We are rehoming Bowie because he has not gotten along with our 1 year old child since they started walking and moving around. We believe Bowie may have had some trauma in his past before we rescued him and our child moving quickly has caused him to nip and bite them a few times out of fear. Keeping them separated has been the our only solution to keep them both safe, but we want Bowie to be a part of a family instead of being separated. Which is why we are pursuing rehoming.
