With his big smile and sweet personality, Bowie is a total catch!
Bowie is a stunning 2/3-year-old guy who is looking for his fur-ever home. He was adopted from a local shelter, but unfortunately, isn't a good match for his current family. Rather than returning him to the shelter, his family is wanting to rehome him as a private party. He is fully grown and weighs about 45lbs.
Bowie is a cuddle bug and athlete wrapped up in an adorable brindle package. He loves to play, especially fetch, and is looking for an active home to keep his busy body happy. After a day of fun, he loves nothing more than cuddling up on the couch for snuggles and kisses. His favorite pastimes also include sunbathing and shredding his toys.
Bowie loves other dogs and would thrive with another active dog in the home to wrestle with. He also could be a great companion for someone who has lots of friends with dogs for him to play with. The main reason Bowie is being rehomed is he is too rambunctious for the family's other small older dog. Bowie has done well living with dog-savvy cats with a slow introduction and proper supervision. Bowie has done well meeting kids and could do well living with kids older than 10 years old.
Bowie has been doing well learning all his basic manners but is still a young guy who would benefit from continued training. He is very food-motivated which helps with his training. He is house and crate-trained.
Bowie is a total lovebug, but is fearful of men and takes some time to warm up to men. He will bark and growl, but with patience, he can warm up and feel comfortable. He needs a family dedicated to making sure they do slow introductions with men and help Bowie succeed. He would highly benefit from professional training with a positive reinforcement trainer who specializes in fearful dogs.
Bowie is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date with his vaccines. He is heartworm-negative, has been kept up-to-date with his monthly preventive, and will come with preventive doses to last until the end of the year.
Bowie's rehoming fee is $50. He will come with his crate, toys, food, and the rest of his supplies.
