My story

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

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, shots current (DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies where applicable), dewormed, flea and tick treated, and microchipped. 

* If you are interested in a dog, please first read the biography on the dog (keep scrolling down for the bio!) and then go to our website, www.dpsrescue.com for an application. Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.



Bowie is a 8 month old sweet boy. He has been a little shy since being rescued but every day we see his personality emerging. He is being fostered with two tiny kittens and even those he is a little guy himself; he has taken a protective role of them. It is so sweet. Bowie has a big heart that is full of love, and we know he will only continue to blossom.

He loves toys and the cat tree. He especially loves hanging out by the window and watching all of the wildlife outside. He enjoys the scratching post and prefers that to furniture, so he is already a well-behaved boy. He also likes the cat tunnel to play in and fluffy blankets to sleep on. He has a very soulful way about him, and we know he is going to be a wonderful addition to some lucky person or family's life!

He has been neutered, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, vaccinated, dewormed, flea treated and microchipped. His adopt fee is $200. Apply to adopt Bowie today!

Additional adoption info

Doggie Protective Services is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization. Our rescued dogs and cats live in foster homes until we can find them appropriate, responsible, loving homes. We carefully screen potential adoptors through an application and interview process. We are a community-based group and invite you to check out our website at www.dpsrescue.com or our very active Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/DPSRescue and keep in touch with real-time adoptions at www.twitter.com/dpsrescue

More about this rescue

We are passionate folks who love dogs and love people! We strive to make the most appropriate match between human and canine. Because our dogs live in foster homes we know about their temperament and personality and therefore can help families and individuals decide if the dog is a good match or not. We are excited to help people find the right pooch for them and look forward to meeting great folks and welcoming them into the DPS Family.
