ADOPTED! 01/15/2022: Sweet Bowie Jones was adopted today 4-1/2 months after he came into UYR. Bowie was surrendered by his previous owner to a local vets office to be euthanized because he had heartworms. No heartworm preventative was ever given to Bowie. The vet reached out to UYR and asked if we would bring him into our foster care program and of course we said YES!

This little fella only had 6 teeth left in his mouth and not only were they badly decayed, he has two oral nasal fistulas that had to be repaired during his dental. He needed updated vaccinations and a neuter before he could begin heartworm treatment as well. Bowie tolerated his heartworm treatment like a champ hooray.

This little boy was so scared and timid when he landed in his foster home. Foster Mom believed that he had either been crated his whole life, or perhaps kept outside all the time. He was not house-trained and crouched low to the floor when anyone approached him it is likely that he was also abused his entire life which is profoundly sad. No one had taken the time to socialize Bowie and show him a happy doggie life.

Today his adoptive parents and yorkie sister Molli made a 15 hour round trip to adopt Bowie. They are so excited and Bowie will have a big sister as a playmate. He will continue to know nothing but love, a comfy bed, compassionate parents and kindness the rest of his life. Just what we want for every one of our foster dogs. Have a Happy Life Bowie Jones!
