Bowser

My story

Meet his high-spirited, lovable, charming, sweet boy named Bowser. He is a neutered American Pit/American Staffordshire terrier mix that is 1 1/2 yrs old and weighs 56lbs. He came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 2/1 as a stray. Bowser arrived at the shelter, seemingly well cared for with a shiny coat, bright eyes, and a healthy weight. He walks nicely on a leash and is crazy about toys and is very playful. He would go from toy to toy playing with each one, throwing it in the air and munching away. This playful pup is friendly and a-OK with receiving loving attention. He does not seem to know any commands. He has taken his prolonged residency at the shelter in stride and is a confident and outgoing boy. However, that is not to say that he’s not “chomping at the bit” to go home with his new people. He needs an active family or person who will give him daily playtime, exercise, and enrichment. He is a smart boy, and I have no doubt he could easily learn some commands. During his time at the shelter, he has shown reactivity to other dogs, and may need to be the only dog in the home. Its advised to ask the shelter for a dog test if there will be another one in the home. As a volunteer, I pass by his kennel multiple times each day I am at the shelter and it breaks my heart to see his adorable little face looking up at me, pleading with me to take him out and play with him. If you are able and willing, please consider whether you can help this precious boy out of the shelter and on the way to his forever home.
