Story
BOWSER Available for Adoption Have you ever felt so forgotten, so unwanted, that you weren’t sure if things would ever get better? That was my life before I was rescued. When my friends at CARE found me at Chicago Animal Control, I was barely holding on. My fur was so matted it pulled at my skin with every little movement, making it painful just to exist. I was filthy, covered in dirt, urine, and worse. I had no comfort, no relief—just fear, loneliness, and sadness. I didn’t know kindness. I didn’t know love. I didn’t even know what it felt like to be a dog.But everything changed that day. They saw me. They didn’t look away. They didn’t decide I was too far gone. They saved me.They rushed me to the vet, where I got a medical shave and neuter. When 4.2 pounds of fur came off, I could finally move without pain. For the first time in who knows how long, I felt fresh air on my skin. I felt relief. I felt clean. And for the first time in forever, I felt hope.I’m a 3-year-old doodle, and now, I’m learning what it truly means to be a dog. I get to go on walks (which I LOVE—I’m an excellent walker!), feel grass beneath my paws, play, and experience kindness. I’m potty trained, sweet, and so eager to love and be loved. Every day, I grow stronger, happier, and more ready for the next chapter of my life. I know there’s a family out there for me—someone who will see me the way CARE did. Someone who will never let me feel forgotten again. Could that be you?I’m waiting I have been microchipped and neutered and have had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines. My adoption fee is $325.
