My story

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

Bowser originally came into Animal Control care after an incident where he bit his former owners who we believe were abusing him. He has been waiting at our kennel in Worcester, MA for about 8 mo. as all of the rescues we have contacted are unwilling to take him.

Due to his bite history, the adopter must be a skilled dog handler, preferably someone experienced in working with bully breeds/behaviorally challenged dogs. The adopter MUST BE WILLING & ABLE TO CONTINUE USING THE E-COLLAR & A CRATE for training behavior management purposes. Despite his history, once he is comfortable with you, he is extremely loving, goofy, & playful. Give him treats & he will love you forever.

We do not know his exact age or breed, but he is estimated to be between 4-6 yrs old & possibly a mini/pocket bully mix. He is physically healthy & does not have any pre-existing medical conditions, nor resource guarding or separation anxiety issues. He is neutered & up to date on rabies distemper vaccines.
