No need to grab your Nintendo controller — this Bowser isn’t here to kidnap princesses. He’s a 4-year-old cropped and docked Doberman whose only mission is to win your heart (and maybe your couch).
Due to some life changes, Bowser’s mom had to make the tough decision to let him go, but this handsome ham is ready to level up and find his next adventure!
Bowser’s résumé is pretty impressive:
Lived peacefully with a cat (yes, really!)
Gets along with other dogs and is a total social butterfly at the dog park
Apartment trained — he’s mastered the art of using his “indoor voice”
Fully vetted before adoption and ready to strut into his new life looking sharp
Bowser is a happy, affectionate goofball who loves playing, running, and being part of the fun. He’s looking for an active home that will keep up with his antics and continue his training — because let’s face it, even hams need structure.
If you’re looking for a big-hearted, four-legged comedian who’ll keep you laughing (and maybe photobomb all your selfies), Bowser’s your guy!
Apply today and help Bowser start his next adventure — he promises to bring the fun, the snuggles, and just the right amount of drool.
