Bowie

Husky German Shepherd Dog

Male, 1 yr
Lehigh Valley, PA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bowie is approximately 11 months old and last weighed in at 44 lbs.  We picked him up from the Philly shelter along with Bean (who may be his brother).   The only history we have is that on 09/21/24 both dogs were found at the same location and brought to the shelter as strays.  They were both a little skinny but have put on some weight and according to the vet, are very healthy. Bowie is a very sweet dog and loves people.  He is not food aggressive and seems good around kids. Because he is a very rambunctious puppy, he would need to be monitored around small children. He is very energetic and plays very rough with Bean; these two are very close. Seems ok with most dogs but shows some aggression toward some dogs during his obedience class.  His prey drive is very strong, so having small animals or pets (such as cats) around would not be advised. He is a puppy and likes to dig and chew on anything.  He is a big jumper and pulls hard on walks, all which can be fixed with time and training.  Bowie is crate trained.  He has had some monitored time in the house outside of the crate.  He likes to counter surf which can be resolved with more training.

Sally is a sweet girl who is searching for her forever home. She is a sweet, dorky but smart girl that loves attention. She is about 18 months old, female shepherd mix breed. She is about 65 pounds. She came into the system after someone noticed she was tied to a dog house with no other source of shade. She is a sweet, medium energy girl that gets along with everyone! She loves playing, but her fosters are a retired couple with more dogs than energy. She loves kids, cats and dogs. She is crate trained. She does well with change and adapts very quickly. She loves treats and toys (Sometimes to pieces.). She loves water. She has so much potential to be an amazing companion with some one on one attention. She has watched other puppies come and go and still she is here with us. To apply fill out our online Adoption application at https://form.jotform.com/80635351784158
