About Rowdy

Meet Rowdy, a thoughtful and affectionate seven-year-old Pug and Chihuahua mix weighing twenty-five pounds. With his charming little smile and signature toothy grin, he lights up any room. Rowdy is low energy and prefers to observe new situations before engaging, often letting guests make the first move. Once he’s comfortable, he relishes gentle pets and is eager to accept treats. Potty trained and crate trained, Rowdy is content to relax alone. He's slowly mastering his leash skills, motivated by food rewards. While he generally keeps to himself around other dogs, he happily shares space and enjoys a calm environment. A gentle morning walk around the house starts his day, along with an exploration of the yard at his own leisure. Rowdy thrives best in a quiet home with a patient adopter who understands the importance of giving him his own cozy spot. He would benefit from a mellow companion dog and would do well in a peaceful apartment setting. His foster said it best: "He's incredibly sweet and happiest when he can relax near you."
