Story
Just one look at his little face and that sweet baby nose, and your heart's already halfway gone. Bowie is as pure as they come. He is gentle, curious, a soft soul to grow with, the kind of pup that blinks up at you like you're his whole world. Every day is a brand new adventure and he's looking for someone to discover it with. If you have room for one tender-hearted baby in your life, Bowie is ready to fill that position!
Watch his video and fall in love with this sweet baby: https://youtu.be/GOeyRaDFAUk?si=B73pw7yKb8d1tEc1
Bowie is a pittie/boxer mix approximately 8 months old and currently weighs 48 lbs and still has some more room to grow. He's just a baby y'all. Bosni is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
Don't tell him we told you this, but want to know the secret to Bowie's heart? Treats and that sweet spot right behind his ear. Those two things will have Bowie swooning over you in no time! Especially when you get to scratching that sweet spot! He starts shaking his back leg, tilts his head, and literally has a smile a his face. If you haven't watched his video, you need to because it's the cutest thing ever! He also loves treats and will do anything for a treat. He already knows how to sit and was easily guided into a down position when asked as well. He walks well on a leash and is a great car rider too. Although he may need help getting in and out. Bowie can be a little shy at first when meeting new people but once you're in his corner there's no turning back. He really loves when people take the time to get to know him and build trust with him. Which, now that you know the secrets to his heart, you'll be his favorite person before you know it.
Bowie is very dog friendly and is in daily play groups which is where is thrives and has the best time ever. One of his favorite games to play is chase. You’ll see him bouncing, bobbing, weaving throughout the dogs and obstacles in the yard and is such a joy to watch. When he’s done playing, he’ll simply go off and do his own thing exploring the yard, enjoying the fresh air, or he can be found splashing around in a nearby kiddie pool. This boy loves the water and has so much fun bouncing in and out of the pool especially if his doggy friends join in on the action. He has a gentle play style with other dogs and will do best in a home with a medium energy aloof playful dog that enjoys playing chase, has a more gentle play style, and also enjoys those calmer moments as well. Bowie would thrive in a home with another dog or even a multi dog household. He really opens up the most when is around other dogs. We do believe that he would be best living in a home with another dog to help him feel comfortable and continue to build his confidence. Bowie has also been around chickens (not free roaming) and did great around them. So if you have any chickens in a coop and looking for a dog that isn't going to be pestering your flock or barking at them through the fencing, Bowie is definitely your guy.
Bowie's dream home would be one that enjoys those simple moments in life, are not overly concerned with being the party house in the neighborhood, and looking for loving companion to take on leisurely walks around the neighborhood and snuggle with at night. If you're someone that works from home, Bowie will be perfectly content settling on the floor next to your feet, keeping quiet, never getting into things he shouldn't be, or keeping entertained with his doggy siblings. We do believe that he would be happiest in a home with a backyard that is not directly in the heart of a city with all the hustle and bustle. Bowie he is a gentle sensitive soul and can sometimes startle with quick unexpected movements or loud noises. He would do best in a home with older kids (14+) who respect his space and are more predicable with their movements. If younger kids visit occasionally, he’ll be just fine, as long as his home is generally relaxed.
Bowie is just a sweet wittle baby that has so much to learn about the big big world. He will need a home with lots of patience and love to offer him while he settles and acclimates to your home. Bowie can handle the hustle and bustle of a household after getting to know everyone. Bowie is simply careful and thoughtful in new environments. You’ll see him taking little baby steps into new rooms getting his bearings, roaming, exploring and observing everything around him. Before you know it, he has his favorite spots, knows his routine, and has his favorite dog and/or human.
We are willing to test Bowie with anything you need us to in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen. Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.
While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
