About Bowie

Meet Bowie, a sweet and timid Chihuahua-Pomeranian mix searching for a special home. He arrived on October 3, 2026, due to Humane Law Enforcement, and he’s taking things slow. Bowie easily becomes overwhelmed by new experiences and prefers to keep his distance until he feels comfortable. His ideal home would be peaceful, perhaps with older kids aged 10 and up who understand his need for space and patience. Leash walking is new to him, so he’ll need a lovely travel crate for trips and a private, fenced yard to practice his bathroom business without feeling watched. It’s crucial for his new family to maintain a calm environment, avoiding busy outings at first to help him adjust. If you have some gourmet treats and the patience to let him come to you, Bowie will become your devoted companion in his own time. He’s been vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, making him ready for adoption to the right forever home! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
