My story

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

Ahh… come sit with me a moment, won’t you? My name is Bowser, and I am an old soul in a very large body. A senior gentleman, if you please. The kind who prefers a slow introduction, a soft voice, and a bit of patience before opening his heart. I may seem a touch unsure at first—new places and new faces make me pause—but give me time, and I promise you’ll see just how sweet and tender I truly am.

Now, I should clear something up right away: I am an XXL fellow. A grand, towering lad. My photos try their best, but they simply cannot capture the presence of me. When I stand beside you, you will understand. With this size comes strength, and when I go for my beloved walks, I can be a bit… enthusiastic. The leash and I are still negotiating our relationship. I do love my strolls, though, and nothing makes me happier than fresh air and the world passing by.

Despite my silvering years, I still have plenty of wiggle left in these old bones. When excitement strikes, I may forget my manners and pop up to say hello—purely out of joy, I assure you. And yes… I do have opinions, especially when treats are involved. If I feel I am being ignored, I may politely (or not-so-politely) remind you with my voice. A gentleman must advocate for himself, after all.

I am looking for a home that understands both my size and my heart—someone strong enough to handle my body, patient enough to earn my trust, and kind enough to love a big, silly old boy who still believes life has good chapters left to tell. If you have room in your home—and your heart—for a towering gentleman like me, I would be honored to spend my golden years by your side.
