Story
Bowser is a sweet doofus dog around his adult owners. He was found on the street when he was about 8 months old and has lived in the lap of luxury since then. In the last two years he has exhibited extreme aggression towards small animals. He has killed two cats, and recently attacked our smaller dog who has been his pack mate since she welcomed him to the family 5 years ago. We cannot risk him attacking or injuring our toddler. Unfortunately, if he is not re home in the next week or two, we will have him euthanized. He is fully house trained, does not chew, and knows basic commands. Please help find him an adult only home with no other animals!
