Help for Bowie

Though small and very sweet-natured, Bowie has charisma and perseverance that live up to his rock-star name. At just a year and a half old, Bowie (a Skye terrier) is already a survivor.

Bowie came to live with our family about four weeks ago, after at least two prior homes in which he experienced abuse or neglect. Bowie initially had minimal use of his hind legs and tail due to significant fractures which had been left untreated.

The support of caring veterinary professionals since has improved Bowie’s mobility and comfort level. However, fully addressing Bowie’s injuries will take time. We are hopeful that an upcoming surgery will further assist Bowie in reaching the happy and active life that he deserves.

Even with injuries and past experiences that initially made Bowie fearful, he is now often affectionate, joyful and energetic. Bowie loves to shake his favorite toys and gives nudges for attention. He now moves with a hop and looks forward to recovering to the point that he can keep pace with his pal Marley (another beloved dog and Adopt-A-Pet alum). We are so grateful to the Adopt-A-Pet family, team of veterinary professionals and Bowie’s many fans who are making it possible for Bowie to show more of his star qualities after a painful start.
