About Howie

Howie is the last of his siblings available for adoption, having come from a litter rescued in March from West Plains, MO. This sweet, affectionate pup is ready to find his forever family after being abandoned when his owner passed away. Howie's personality shines; he forms strong bonds and loves to be around people, cats, and other dogs. He's affectionate with cats and shows curiosity towards the parakeet in his foster home. While he's learning to navigate his growing body as a 9-month-old, Howie is already crate trained and prefers to have some toys and ice cubes to keep him entertained. This gentle giant weighs about 80 lbs and has been fully potty trained. He's up to date on vaccinations and requires that all adopters promise to neuter him later. Adoption comes with certain requirements, including a secure fence and a home visit. Howie is fostered in Columbia, MO, and is eager to start his next adventure! Ready to meet your new best friend?
