Rowie Bowie starman absolute couch-potato

My story

Rowie Bowie is his name and delivering love and laughs is his game. If you are looking for a dog that feels like he has always been yours, you have found him! He has an old-mans soul and is just easy to have around. Take a few minutes to watch his video to see him in action then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/YhzQVC2iW2I Breed and birthday are details we cannot know/guarantee with a rescue dog and Rowie Bowie is no exception. Does he look a little like a Rottweiler? Yes! Is he as big as one? No way, this boy weighs 45 lbs. Off nothing but a visual, I’m going to say I think he is a shepherd/rottie mix, maybe 5-6 years old. That age is my favorite! Most dogs are more couch-potato than weekend warrior and Rowie is no exception. He is happy to just be. Napping on the couch, a little after dinner stroll or hanging with the kids, Rowie is up for it—as long as it’s low-key. He’s currently living in an apartment and doing great. He’s well-mannered indoors, is both house and crate trained, doesn’t bark and is relaxed when his foster is away during her work day. When it's time for potty breaks he is a gentleman, he waits to be leashed up and is just a breeze on leash, no pulling or rushing here. 
We introduced Rowie to a variety of dogs and he calm meeting new friends but is otherwise mostly aloof. He coexists without fuss and doesn’t seek out much interaction with other dogs. He could easily be a happy solo dog or the +1 to an equally chill dog. He shared toys without issue, even with several on the floor, and consistently kept a relaxed vibe. We are saying a feline-free home is best for Rowie. He was a bit too interested for us and it's easy to see he might chase a cat in the home. 
Rowie loves people and is incredibly friendly, including with kids! He was gentle and sweet meeting a 4 year old and minded his commands beautifully. What I loved most about his time with Kobe the 4 y/o was that Kobe was enjoying a slice of cheese pizza, walking around with it just in his hands and even though Rowie was right there, nose repeatedly so close, he didn’t once try to sneak a bite or even a sniff of his pizza. When he finally did share a bite with Rowie, he was so gentle taking it from his hand. That is impressive! This boy loves affection but is not overly clingy and definitely appreciates being part of the family. You’ll usually find him posted up on the couch, just watching the world go by, waiting for his next short stroll or belly rub. He is The ultimate "hang out and chill" companion. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, loving pup with some hilarious fun guy energy, Rowie Bowie is ready to curl up next to you and assume the role of your best sidekick yet. Questions?

Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!  Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.  The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. It doesn’t stop there!
