Rowdy is a bright, playful dog with a big heart and an even bigger love for learning. He’s picked up commands like “sit” and “shake” and really shines when motivated with tasty treats (he’s a big fan of beef snacks and cheese!). Rowdy enjoys walks, games of tug, and splashing in a kiddie pool, and he’s also been friendly when meeting other dogs.

He recently spent time in a foster home where he showed how much he thrives with consistency, affection, and enrichment. Rowdy likes attention on his own terms and benefits from having a space to relax when he needs to reset. He’s still learning how to handle excitement and new things, but he’s made great progress and responds well to gentle guidance.

Rowdy is back at the shelter now, hoping to find someone who will help him keep learning, playing, and growing. If you’re looking for a fun, loyal companion with lots of potential, come meet Rowdy!
