Meet Bowie – the black and white mixed breed puppy. Bowie came in as a stray and had lots of zest. To help him channel his puppy energy for good – he has been hanging out in a foster home that can meet his needs a bit more successfully than a Shelter environment. His foster reports: “Bowie is very sweet… kind of d***y. His mouthing is typical for his age and strength. When his foster parent redirects him to a toy or remove themselves during spurts of puppy mouthing – the unwanted behavior decreases. Bowie is coexisting nicely in a home with three other dogs – two senior dogs and another juvenile. He enjoys playing with the other puppy and is learning to respect the senior dogs in the home. He sits really nicely when he wants attention and has learned to sit with a hand signal. His foster reports that he likes to play in sprinklers and in water! He has also been gentle in his treat taking.”
Bowie would thrive in an adoptive home with a resident dog who is looking for a little brother of a puppy. Could that be with you? Come into the Shelter if you want to set up a meet ‘n greet with Bowie today!
Special thank you to Melanie and family for fostering Bowie until he finds his adoptive home!
