Meet ROWDY
Precious and heartbreaking, Rowdy was not able to follow his owner into assisted living, so he is desperately seeking a calm, loving, and secure environment to spend the rest of his days.

About Me:
I am very sad and confused right now. I know I am loved...by the new people I find myself surrounded by and my former owner, who had no choice and tried desperately to find a home for me. But it's loud and scary for me right now, and I don't want to stay here for very long.

I'm an easy-keeper...my energy level is relatively low and probably my favorite activity is sleeping. I am great on a leash and like to be taken on walks so I can then have a really good nap!
I love people and appreciate affection. Sometimes I will nudge you with my head if you forget to pet me or take your hand away from me. I like knowing you are there for me. Everyone who has met me has talked about how sweet and loving I am.

I can be sweet and loving for you, too.
I am a really, really good boy.
I want to feel safe and secure again.
I don't want to stay in the shelter.
Please adopt me and give me another wonderful, loving home.
