My story

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

Say hello to Bowie, a 3-year-old ball of love who's happiest when lounging with you on the couch. Bowie is your classic couch potato-short, squat, and oh-so-affectionate. He loves nothing more than cuddling up and spending quality time with his favorite humans. If you're looking for a low-key companion to share lazy afternoons with, Bowie is the perfect fit!

Bowie is house-trained and easygoing around the house, and while he enjoys his naps, he's always up for a snuggle session or a little playtime with his favorite toys. Though he's a lovebug at home, he can be a little reactive on-leash around other dogs, so he'll need a patient and experienced handler to help him feel more comfortable during walks.

Bowie may not be the best fit for an active, bustling household, but he's an absolute gem for someone who's looking for a calm, affectionate companion to chill with. If you're looking for a sweet, low-energy dog to share your space with, Bowie just might be your perfect match.

More about this shelter

The Humane Society of North Central Florida was created in 2018 when the leadership of the Alachua County Humane Society, Gainesville Pet Rescue, and Helping Hands Pet Rescue decided to permanently join forces. By becoming the Humane Society of North Central Florida, our organizations were able to effectively streamline services for pets and pet owners, eliminate any duplication of services, maximize our community’s resources, and improve the life-saving abilities of the entire region.

Our founding organizations have been dedicated to serving pets in Alachua County for more than 40 years. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is a limited intake, no-kill animal rescue shelter. The animals in our facility are transferred from open-intake and/or managed admission municipal shelters across North Central Florida. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is an independent, local 501(c)(3) organization. As such, we do not receive funding from federal agencies, nor are we affiliated with any other state or national organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States or the ASPCA.
