Bowie, the Big Snuggle Bug
Are you ready to welcome boundless joy and endless cuddles into your life? Look no further than Bowie! This big-hearted canine companion is almost two years old, weighs around 52 pounds, and is on the hunt for a loving family to share his infectious enthusiasm and affection. Although his exact genealogy is unknown, Bowie looks like a mix of Heeler and Dalmatian.
Bowie's larger-than-life personality is matched only by his love for cuddles. Whether he's romping around with his favorite toys or snuggled up beside you on the couch, Bowie's enthusiasm is contagious. He's a social butterfly who adores meeting new people and making both dog and people friends wherever he goes. He loves watching the squirrels from his window. Bowie is food-motivated and will always lick his bowl clean. He has great self-esteem and his foster mom often catches him staring at himself in the mirror.
Bowie was rescued from the euthanasia list at Lebanon Animal Control. He would thrive in a home where he can be showered with love and attention. Bowie enjoys indoor and outdoor activities, so a fenced yard for him to explore would be ideal. Bowie is a bright and eager learner who is ready to tackle basic training with enthusiasm. He already knows a few commands and is working on leash training. He's already crate-trained and needs to be crated when his new family leaves the house. Positive reinforcement and consistency will help him become the well-mannered companion you've always dreamed of.
Bowie is in excellent health and is up-to-date on all vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and heartworm-negative.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to make Bowie a permanent part of your family! If you're ready to open your heart and home to this big-hearted snuggle bug, reach out today to arrange a meeting. He is being fostered in the St. Louis County area.
Take the next step, and fill out an application at istodaymydayrescue.org. Bowie's adoption fee is $295. Adoption fees cover vetting and supply costs for our foster dogs.

Additional adoption info
We want to make this easy and we want to be sure that the dog you are interested in is a fit for you. Finding a dog or pup that works with your schedule and lifestyle is key to our placement. The questions on the application help us know if the dog you choose will do well in your home. Number of hours your dog is home alone, fenced yard, exercise plan, other family members – pets included; those are important things we want to discuss with you and your chosen canine. We do require a vet reference.
The application is on our website: Istodaymydayrescue.org. Complete and send. You can expect a reply within 24-48 hours. As all of our dogs are in foster care, we will then contact the foster home and arrange a meeting. The foster home might want to do a home visit or you might meet at a convenient location. If it is a good fit, some adoptions can be completed at that time of the meeting.
If your pup is under 4 pounds or an extra large breed at the age we typically alter our dogs, she or he might need to wait to be altered until the pup reaches a more appropriate age. This is to ensure that the pup is large enough to undergo anesthesia and old enough to not stunt the puppy's growth. If so, we will ask you to sign a spay/neuter contract. We will refer you to a low cost spay neuter program in your area. Sixty dollars will be reimbursed when the procedure is completed.
All of our dogs are micro chipped, wormed, heartworm tested if over 6 months, on heartworm preventative, treated for fleas, and have age appropriate vaccines. Pups under 16 weeks require ongoing vaccines every 2 to 3 weeks.

More about this rescue
“Is today my day?” That is what every shelter dog asks. “Is today the day that I find a home, get a family, discover that I am a best friend”? We want to tell those dogs: “Yes, it is!”
We are a foster based rescue who aims to serve south central Missouri, an area with a low human population and a high canine population. Our mission is to help dogs from this area find homes in the St. Louis area through adoptions and transfers. After covering spay/neuter costs, 20% of each adoption fee goes to our emergency medical fund so we can help canine accident victims, pay for emergency C-sections, and other health needs. The remainder of the adoption fee goes to the dogs.
We are foster based and do not have a facility. Moms and pups are our focus, but we will help any dog we can. We are only able to accept a dog when a foster home is available. All dogs and pups are current on vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm tested, wormed, and treated for fleas and ticks. All dogs over 12 weeks have been altered; if too young for this procedure, a spay/neuter reimbursement is provided when the procedure is done.
