Bowen (20260929-01)
DOB: 12/29/2025 Estimated
Age: 9 months
Weight: 31-40 lbs

Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Bowen is super loving, loves jumping around and playing, but also just loves laying at your feet. Bowen and his sister were found dumped on a dirt road and they were both filled with ticks and fleas, but jumped right in the vehicle once we opened the doors.

Bowen likes to ride but he doesn't sit, he goes from window to window in the backseat. Maybe it's fear of being dumped again. He crates up really well, but loves a good chew toy or bully stick to waste away the time. He does need to learn to sit when getting his food bowl. This is something that we are trying to work on.

Overall, Bowen is a happy, goofy and friendly pup who will make an amazing addition to a very lucky family.
