Story
Background: Rowan and his siblings came to rescue with their mom, Beans, from an overcrowded off-grid home in the desert. Their owner loved them deeply and reached out for help so each puppy could have the opportunity to find a wonderful forever family. Rowan has been loved and handled since birth and is growing up as a happy, well-socialized puppy. Personality: Rowan is the biggest snuggler of the bunch! While he enjoys puppy wrestling matches, chasing games, and carrying around his favorite toys, his favorite place is curled up next to his people. He's confident, affectionate, and always ready for both playtime and cuddle time. As the largest puppy in the litter, Rowan was also the first to embrace his "big boy" food. Health: Rowan's estimated DOB is 7/22/26. Based on his current size, we expect him to mature to around 30 pounds. He is up-to-date on his puppy vaccines. Training: As a young puppy, Rowan is still learning all the basics of being a great canine companion. He's currently using potty pads and is beginning to explore the dog door in his foster home. Like all puppies, he'll need continued work on house training, leash skills, socialization, and basic manners. Rowan is a smart, confident boy who will thrive with a family committed to providing the structure, consistency, and patience every puppy needs to grow into a wonderful adult dog. Ideal Home: Rowan would love a home with a female dog who is a few years older than him. He will thrive with a family looking for an affectionate companion who enjoys both outdoor adventures and downtime. He requires a household that can provide plenty of playtime, socialization, and snuggles. As with any puppy, Rowan needs a family that understands the time, training, supervision, and socialization required during his first year. Adoption Requirements: We are currently accepting applications for foster-to-adopt! Terms of a foster-to-adopt agreement include taking them for their remaining shots and spay/neuter surgery at PAWS - The Modern Spay Neuter Clinic (Cave Creek & 101). • Week of 10/26: distemper/parvo booster, rabies, microchip, spay/neuter surgery This appointment is fully covered by the rescue. Ownership transfers to the adopter immediately following the final appointment. The adoption fee of $400 helps offset the cost of medical expenses. If you live in the Phoenix metro area, have a securely fenced yard, and are ready for all things puppy, please complete an adoption application*: https://helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application/ *Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up. October 13, 2026, 10:19 pm
