Bowie

My story

Bowie is a 20lb Terrier mix (Vet thinks Jack Russell mix) about 2-3 yrs old looking for someone very patient. He was abused and then we believe he was let out to fend for himself and from what we see, he had a tough time on the streets by himself. When Bowie first came to us as a stray, we did everything we could to reunite him with his family, he was posted on over 50 social media sites, he was registered with every shelter within 50 miles just in case his family called the shelters looking for him. No one ever came forward. He has gone from a scared, growling, wanting to bite if you got near him little boy, to now being a lot more socialized, trusting us, sitting on our laps, wanting to play and just being a great rescue. It will take time for him to trust you, but once he does he is your best friend. Bowie gets along with our rescues here but we do notice that he gets a little attitude when we are showing the other pups attention. He really is just looking for attention and he is picky about who he shares that attention with. He also has some food aggression with other dogs, we can take his food away with no issues but he growls if any other dog tries to get near his food. We solve that by feeding him in another room and we do not keep food down in the house. He needs the perfect family to show him lots of love and attention and he will be the greatest companion pup to that family! Adoption fee $350 (We prefer that he is an only dog and all attention goes to him) He loves unconditionally once he trusts you.
