Story
Meet BowIe!
Bowie is a sweet, loving shepherd mix (yes, we have a DNA test!) who is ready for her forever home. She is very friendly and loves being around her humans. Bowie would do best as the only dog in the home so she can have all the attention to herself and can be dog selective. She would do best in a home with no cats and has not been small child tested.
Bowie was found dumped on the side of a country road in a rural area, left to fend for herself. She ran right up to a hunter for pets and followed him around the rest of the day. She is such an affectionate dog. As he drove away, he could see her in his rearview mirror slowly trying to follow his truck down the road. He could not stop thinking about her big brown eyes that seemed to look right into his soul. That is when he contacted a volunteer with DSDA and started the process to get her rescued.
She is petite at just 46 lbs, making her a great size for many homes. Bowie loves treats and dog toys, and she already knows how to sit on command and is leash and house trained. She enjoys relaxing in the backyard, especially if it includes belly rubs. She is very chill and happy to cuddle up with you on a recliner for a good movie.
Bowie is spayed and has recently completed heartworm treatment. She is ready to move forward with a healthy, happy life in her new home.
Bowie also likes to chase squirrels, so a secure yard would be a plus. If you’re looking for a loyal, calm companion who loves people and enjoys the simple things, Bowie could be the perfect match for you.
