🌟 Meet Rowdy! This fabulous five-year-old gentleman tips the scales at a robust 80 pounds and comes with a heart of gold! They say he’s a shepherd mix, but he’s really a lovable force of nature! His temperament is the stuff of fairy tales—gentle, sweet, and irresistibly affectionate! ⭐️ Rowdy's journey has been quite the adventure. He originally came into rescue when his first mom had to move to an assisted living facility. This lovely boy didn’t just sit around; he brought joy to everyone there, visiting the residents and spreading love like confetti! 🎉 Talk about a therapy dog without a certificate! After his first mom passed away, another caring woman opened her heart and home to him. He even received formal obedience training, learning to walk alongside a walker—a true testament to his kindness! Unfortunately, as life would have it, she also aged and could no longer care for him, which brings us to his quest for a forever home! Rowdy is fantastic with children and instantly showers everyone he meets with love. There’s no awkward warm-up with this handsome guy; he’s ready to be your best friend right away! ❤️ Just a heads-up: Rowdy has undergone a cat test, and let’s just say, those little furballs are way too much fun to chase for his liking! 😼 However, he's a social butterfly with other dogs and is currently fostering with a diverse pack of small, medium, and large breeds—talk about a happy family! 🐕 He’s house trained and crate trained, having never had an accident indoors. Rowdy knows how to navigate a home with style, boasting impeccable manners and a zero-chewing policy. 🚫🦴 Leash walking? A breeze! No pulling for this fantastic fellow! He also rides like a champ in the car, always ready for new adventures! 🚗💨 Rowdy has even dipped his paws into camping, enjoying every second of it! 🌲 You won’t find a more well-rounded pup than him, folks! He’s neutered, microchipped, and fully up to date on his vaccines. If a loving and loyal companion is what’s missing in your life, Rowdy is ready to fill that spot with joy! Don’t wait!
