About Miss Bowie

Miss Bowie is a petite, sweet-natured shepherd mix looking for a quiet home where she can soak up all the love for herself. At 5 years old and about 46 pounds, she’s social and affectionate with people—and has a real soft spot for cuddling up on a recliner with you after relaxing in the backyard. She’ll gladly perform a quick sit for snacks, enjoys belly rubs, and gets along great on a leash and in the house. Bowie's favorite hobbies include chasing squirrels and collecting toys. She needs to be the only dog in the home, as she can be dog selective, and she doesn’t get along with cats. A home with no small children is recommended since she hasn’t been tested around them. A secure yard is a big plus here—she’ll happily lounge in the grass or trot after a squirrel or two. She’s spayed, vaccinated, finished with heartworm treatment, and ready for a new beginning. Bowie would love nothing more than a calm, reliable person who appreciates easy company and loyal affection. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
