A little about them

Meet Bowie, a loyal five-and-a-half-year-old German Shepherd/Siberian Husky mix in Castle Rock, Colorado. At 65 pounds, he is a calm, affectionate companion who enjoys sunshine, leisurely walks, stuffed animals, car rides, and peaceful naps. Bowie has a charming Husky-inspired voice and may greet favorite people with playful howls.

Ideal Home

Bowie thrives in a calm, adults-only home with a low-key lifestyle, consistent routines, and thoughtful introductions to visitors. He should be the only dog in the household. He previously lived happily with a cat for many years. Bowie communicates when he needs space and has had two bite incidents after being unexpectedly hurt or startled when someone accidentally stepped on or fell onto him.

Ongoing Health

Bowie is healthy, neutered, microchipped, house-trained, and current on vaccinations. He eats Hill's Science Diet to support his sensitive stomach.

Training & Support

Bowie has completed formal obedience training and knows sit, down, shake, and circle. He comes when called, travels beautifully, enjoys car rides, and settles peacefully when left alone. His guardians have worked extensively with a professional trainer to address earlier leash reactivity, and he has done very well since then.
