Don't let the name fool you-Rowdy's not wild. He's a 7-year-old, 70-pound black Lab with a calm, gentle soul. He was found running along a highway with a too-tight collar and a chain dragging behind him. Since then, he's proven to be one of the sweetest, easiest dogs around. He doesn't need constant attention-he's just happy to be in the same room, keeping you quiet company.
Rowdy enjoys simple things: a good walk, a rawhide chew, and a grassy yard to sniff around in. He has a strong prey drive (squirrels beware), but with a front-clip harness and a low-distraction route, he walks well. Toys don't interest him much-he's more about calm than chaos.
He's crate trained, house trained, is great with children of all ages, and has great manners. He prefers his kibble with a spoonful of wet food, thank you, and he takes treats with the softest mouth. On a spa day with a volunteer, he was calm in the car, polite at the groomer, and charming at the hamburger drive-thru.
Rowdy's looking for a home where he can be the only pet. No dogs, no cats-just you. After all he's been through, he deserves a peaceful life with someone who'll see what a steady, loyal fella he really is. He's waited long enough.
He is heartworm positive, but heartworms are treatable, not contagious, and thanks to Friends of Wake County Animal Center, he comes with a $1,000 sponsorship to help with treatment costs.
