About Bowie

Meet Bowie, a charming and timid soul looking for a quiet retreat. He made his way to us through Humane Law Enforcement, and since then, he has shown a particular preference for a peaceful environment. Bowie needs a home with older kids, ages 10 and up, who understand the value of patience and personal space. He takes time to warm up and prefers to keep his distance initially. At first, Bowie will be most comfortable traveling in a crate, as leash walking is unfamiliar territory for him. His perfect match will provide a secure, private backyard where he can feel at ease while he learns to navigate the leash at his own pace. His ideal adopters will enjoy a laid-back lifestyle, steering clear of bustling stores and noisy gatherings while Bowie adjusts to his new surroundings. To win his heart, drop some tasty treats from across the room and allow him to take the lead. If you're looking for a slow and sweet love story, Bowie might just be the one for you!
