Bowan

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Puppy

Stratham, NH

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with dogs,

Story

Bowan (approximately 28 pounds) was transferred to the NHSPCA from an overcrowded shelter in Tennessee. He is a friendly, social, and outgoing puppy who is often described as "the sweet n chunky little munchkin" by his volunteer dog walking pals. When Bowan was first rescued his legs were weak from malnutrition, but some time in a loving foster home spent eating a healthy high protein diet has sorted out this issue. Good thing too, since Bowan LOVES to run, jump, and play his little heart out! This handsome blue boy was fostered with dogs of all sizes as well as human children, and he reportedly did very well with both species. We suspect that Bowan will weigh 63-76 pounds when full grown, but this is not an exact science, so please take it with a grain of salt ;) Come meet Bowan today - he will be so excited to see you!If you'd like to meet Bowan and all his friends at the New Hampshire SPCA, please visit our Adoption Center during our open hours: 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every day except Wednesdays (closed). Have questions? Call (603) 772-2921 ext. 110 or email info@nhspca.org today. Primary Color: Grey Weight: 12.8 Age: 0yrs 5mths 1wks

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Dexter is a handsome 5âyearâold, 65âlb Rottweiler with that classic rottie charm. He may start off a little aloof, but once he knows you, he’s friendly, gentle, and wonderfully easy to live with. He’s crate trained, housebroken, great in the car, and relaxed on leash. Dexter enjoys other dogs, loves his walks, and settles beautifully at home — usually right beside his person. He’s affectionate, foodâmotivated, and happiest following you around for cuddles and quiet companionship. Dexter is still learning the fun parts of being a dog and would do best in a calm home with adults or older kids.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Apply on our web site: http://4theloveofdog.org/adopt.html April 7, 2026, 12:54 am
