  — Deleted P.

  — Amanda B.

• “Hi! This is Rowdy! She was adopted back in march of 24 at the shelter I work at. She started off super nervous and fearful of everything and anything and we spent a few months getting to know each other slowly and develop a routine. She has fear based reactivity on walks when dogs come towards her quickly but she is wonderful in the house and has helped me foster lots of puppies and a senior dog! She is working on training and knows sit and lay very well, she’s also amazing on leash (she began afraid of the leash so we’re very proud) and has recently started wanting to go for jogs too! She has stranger danger but warms up if you respect her space and let her make choices on interactions and has brought me so much joy in a short time frame. We are big on both physical exercise and mental enrichment so combining the two with new places to smell and explore but without the pressure of other dogs spooking her so this is perfect!“

  — Megan T.

• “Hello my name on my birth certificate says Keenose Rootin Tootin Cowboy. Buy everybody calls me Rowdy for short. I love to run jump and swim. I hang out with lots of Golden Retrievers because my mom is a dog show handler.“

  — Judy K.

• “Rowdy is my name and playing is my game! I like to chase and be chased. I like to wrestle but I know my limits and hope that you do as well. Let's be friends!“

  — Sharon B.

• “I’m just a guy who loves to snuggle, run outside and play with my chew toys. I hate when mom makes smoothies becomes the noise scared me and I hide in places I really don’t fit.“

  — Cat G.

• “I’ll be your friend for life if you throw a Chuck it for me. I love to run, love other dogs, love to chase critters that run (Mom won’t have a cat for this reason) and I’m pretty easily bribed with food.“

  — Virginia W.

• “Hi! I’m Rowdy! I’m a very smart girl with lots of patience. If I see something I need (everything) I will watch and wait until I can borrow it. I jump high, climb ladders, walk on unstable surfaces, and use my super powers to explore my world.“

  — Diane T.

• “Howdy I’m Rowdy! I’m a 3 month old AKC ACD and am always looking for new spaces to roam and explore. Currently learning to recall, lie down, and stay! Got lots of room for growth, both mentally and physically! Looking forward to all new things!🩵🤎“
