SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. – 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.
