Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi my name is Bowie and I am an 11 year old Japanese Chin. I was surrendered to a local shelter by my owner who claimed I no longer fit into their lives. I am a very little guy with a big personality. I was so scared in the shelter and was pretty snappy with the staff, therefore they reached out to rescue to see if I would do better in a foster home. I am a little guy who weighs just 7 pounds. I do have some arthritis in my back and currently take some medications to keep me comfortable and happy. I get along great with cats and do pretty well with the other dogs in my foster home. I really would love to be an only dog where I can be the center of attention. I am very playful and love my squeaky toys. Once I trust my person I am very affectionate and sweet, however can be a little snappy with strangers. I need a calm and quiet home with someone who is patient in earning my trust. Once I get there I am a very sweet and loving companion.
