About Bowden

Meet Bowden, a delightful two-year-old Shih Tzu bursting with love! He’s easygoing, calm, and a true joy to be around. Bowden has been both crate-trained and house-trained, making him a wonderful addition to any home. He gets along great with other dogs, although we haven't tested him with cats yet. Given his sweet and gentle nature, he’s likely to fit in well with feline friends too. Bowden came to us as an owner surrender, and when he arrived, his matted fur was a concern. Thanks to the care from EarthWise, his coat has been trimmed, and he’s feeling fantastic! His morning walks are his favorite, and his little tail wags with excitement at each step. Bowden seeks a loving family, a cozy home, and people who will appreciate him for the charming companion he is. This little gem is ready to start a new chapter in his life. Could you be the one to give him the forever home he deserves?
