My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We acquired Bowie in March 2023 from the local SPCA at 8 months old when they were in an emergency foster situation with several small dogs. We fostered him for a while but didn’t want to see him back in the shelter with their overcapacity, so we fully adopted him. He’s energetic, always busy and has big bursts of energy running outside. With our busy lifestyle, we feel that he needs someone to match his energy and has a lot of time to spend with him. He’s super friendly, never been aggressive. Our kids are teenagers, but we feel that he would be fine with younger children as well. He’s good around other dogs and not aggressive towards cats but may like to try and play with them. He likes playing with toys and chewing on bones. He’s good at being held and likes to be doted on. He needs regular grooming, we’ve had him groomed short a couple of times, but his hair does grow very long and regular grooming and brushing is a must.
