Bowie

Bowie is being treated for a URI at the shelter. Once he's better, he'll need a foster (or adopter) right away because the shelter is full.
*As soon as he's well, the shelter staff will test him to see how he is with other dogs so we can hopefully find a good match for this sweet, deserving boy!

"I named this big boy boy after the western frontiersman, Jim Bowie. Bowie doesn’t claim to be famous, but he does have a rugged look about him! It may be because he’s not had the best life so far. Looks can be deceiving because he’s really a sweetheart. He’s a 4-5 yr old, 80 lb mixed breed who arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 8/12. He was brought in by one of our officers. He’s got a gray muzzle. He has what I call sad eyes. They say eyes are the window to the soul & I would say his eyes are pleading for a loving family. I was met in the kennel with a friendly greeting. He roamed around the yard investigating every nook & cranny. He very shortly wanted to go inside. He does not tolerate this heat & who can blame him? He does sit for treats & takes them gently. He’s well behaved. He doesn’t jump on you. He responds well to attention. He does have a strong pull on a leash. He may be housebroken as it appeared that he had saved it until he got out into the yard. He was not interested in meeting other dogs, but if you do have other dogs, please ask the shelter for a dog test. Please don’t judge the book by the cover… he may not be the cutest dog at our shelter, but he’s one of the most deserving! He will need a big yard to stretch his legs in, but would like to spend most of the time in the house with his new family …especially with football season starting. He told me he’s a Cowboy fan."
