Story
Remy is a good dog however he is not a fan of little children. I have a 6 yr old and we have always struggle to keep the peace between them. I think this happens because remy is a very protective dog towards me and he wants my attention all the time, same as my young child. Remy is 4 old, I got him when he was 4 months old. Remy gets a little nervous when we take him to the groomers and he does not like water. Remy came to our lives right before the pandemic and I was working remote. Now I am back to the office and he is very lonely. I think a family without any young children and ready to play catch would be the best home for him.

Story
Peanut is very obedient gets along with all sizes dogs. Has the sweetest disposition, is very playful, eats a little too well (could stand to lose a pound or two). Doesn’t guard food, goes to the bathroom outside and has about a 90% success rate using a potty pad indoors. Con: Doesn’t like to walk on a leash; needs more work with walks. PLEASE NO CALLS OR TEXTS AS WE ARE ALL VOLUNTEERS, COMPLETE AN APPLICATION IF INTERESTED: saveabowwow.com/rescue/adoption-form If listed, dog is available. Once dog is pending adoption, this page will reflect that information. Fine Print: -All of our French bulldogs must be walked with a harness (never on a neck collar). -The rescue requires adoptive family to obtain pet insurance for coverage of congenital and hereditary conditions. This is for any of the dogs in our rescue identified as a French Bulldog or a Frenchie Mix. Adoption will be finalized once the proof of pet insurance requirement is met. (There are some great policies ranging between $28-32 per month) -We have an open door policy and are always here to discuss anything that may arise with your adoptive pet. After an adoption is conducted please do not hesitate to reach out. -Please no texts or calls, apply if interested. -This breed generally speaking cannot swim and will sink like bowling balls so we do not adopt out to any homes with unfenced pools. Note: All breeds and ages are our veterinarians best educated guess (unless otherwise stated that our group has breeder paperwork)

This little celebrity is a suspected Applehead Chihuahua, likely with some Miniature Pinscher in the mix. His absolute best friend is Oscar de la Renta whom is also up for adoption and it would be wonderful to see them adopted together. He’s already neutered, microchipped with AKC, vaccinated, and dewormed, making him ready for his forever home. With his mom weighing only 8 pounds, this little one will remain tiny fully grown, making him the perfect companion for someone looking for a small, loving friend to take with you everywhere!
