About Bowman

Bowman is a 5-year-old Chiweenie, weighing in at a petite 12 pounds. Rescued from a hoarding situation in Puerto Rico, he’s made significant strides in adjusting to everyday life, but he still appreciates a patient, calm adopter who understands that he’ll need time to build his confidence. Affectionately known as Bo, this gentle soul is learning to navigate his new world. He enjoys quietly claiming his space, often sitting by the bedroom doorway just to feel near his foster parent. There's something heartwarming about watching him find comfort day by day. He's softening up, earning trust just a little more each day. With his canine companion, Watson, he relishes leisurely walks and cozy cuddle time. Bowman is working on house training—he uses pee pads and is beginning to venture outside. On walks, he may initially resist the leash but once it's on, he thrives. If you're someone who can provide consistent, low-energy outings and allow him to progress at his own pace, you'll gain a steadfast little friend who may never stop wagging his tail. Bowman is good with children, cats, and other dogs, making him a fitting addition for many households. He needs a loving touch and understanding as he continues his journey. Let this lovely boy be part of your life as he learns the joys of being a cherished pet. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
