SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. â Bowser, an eight-year-old Miniature Pinscher mix, is still patiently waiting to find a family of his own after years without a permanent home.
This small, scruffy-faced gentleman sports an adorable beard and mustache that are sure to steal your heart. Bowser is completely house-trained and accustomed to being left alone for long hours. While he’d prefer a family that’s around more often, he’s perfectly fine being on his own for a typical 8-hour workday.
Bowser would thrive in a calm household without cats or young children. He may also be a great companion for someone looking for a low-maintenance dog who still loves affection and quiet time.
If you have other dogs at home, donât forget to bring them for a meet-and-greet to ensure a good fit. Come meet Bowser today between noon and 4 p.m.âhe might just be your perfect match!
