Bowie is a sweet boy who loves people! He was found wandering the streets of D.C., immediately winning the hearts of everyone he met thanks to his friendly nature. Bowie is a young guy with good leash manners and lots of energy. He loves nothing more than a good cuddle. At 45 pounds, Bowie firmly believes he’s the perfect size for a lap dog and would even love to take a nap on your lap!

Bowie knows some commands already, like sit and stay, and would love to learn more, as he really loves pleasing people and earning treats! He’s been gentle and friendly with everyone he meets in his foster neighborhood. He’s housebroken, though he sometimes needs a reminder as to what counts as “outside.” He was with a cat in his last foster home, and would most likely do well with calm cats or dogs.

Meet Gala!

Gala is a gentle girl in need of reassurance and kindness. She is so SWEET, but her confidence is hiding. Gala was a stray dog, so we don’t know her backstory.

She would love a home with a family that will help her blossom!

And speaking of “blossoming,” a volunteer who recently took Gala out of the shelter for a morning adventure said, “While the shelter makes her nervous, the moment you get away from the hubbub, she’s a different dog. She’s adventurous (hello, car rides!), loves to sniff, finds perfect sticks and asks for belly scratches. She could use a home that will show her the world isn’t so scary and give her a safe place to come out of her shell.”
