Meet Bow

Meet Bow! Bow is a fluffy little Aussie/Shepherd mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He's the perfect mix of playful and affectionate, equally happy chasing a ball or curling up beside you on the couch for snuggles. Bow is fully house-trained, walks nicely on a leash, and knows several basic commands including sit, wait and down. He absolutely loves playing fetch and never says no to a car ride, making him a great adventure buddy. He's good with other dogs but tends to do his own thing rather than looking for canine playmates. He's also cat-friendly! Around people, Bow is incredibly affectionate and loves spending time with his favorite adults. Bow does have one important quirk: he resource guards food and bones, so he'll do best with a family that understands and can manage that behavior appropriately. He also has a loud bark (and occasionally lets out a dramatic "scream"), so he likely isn't the best fit for apartment living. Because we don't know how Bow does with children, a home with older kids or adults would be the safest match until more is known. If you're looking for a loyal companion who loves adventures, fetch, and cozy couch cuddles, Bow might just be your perfect match! How’s adoption fee is $250 and includes his neuter, microchip, current vaccines and heartworm testing. If you would like to meet Bow, please submit an adoption application through our website: Adopthope.org. Last Hope requires that adopters have a history of having g kept other animals as indoor pets, altered and kept current on annual vet care and all vaccines. Our adoption process includes a vet history check and a home visit.
