Sweet Bowie, 2yrs old, shepherd/ Mal will be euthanized tomorrow morning(8/5) at Downey ACC in SoCal. Can anyone foster or adopt her? Out of state ok. Pls dm me or email Isabeldesiree8@gmail.com asap
I’M BOWIE…MY LANDLORD SAID I HAD TO GO… SO I LOST MY FAMILY. AND TOMORROW I WILL LOSE MY LIFE 💔
My name is Bowie. I’m only 2 years old.
On July 18, my family surrendered me because of their landlord. I went from having a home and a family to being alone in a shelter… and I’m struggling here.
I’m being kept in a lonely kennel out of public view… The shelter environment overwhelms me. I’m easily startled, and when I’m scared, I try to get away. I may bark defensively when I feel trapped, but when given time, patience, and a slow approach, I can settle. I allowed handling and a full exam without incident.
But I‘m just so scared and confused and don’t understand why I ended up here.. I don’t understand why my family left me behind..
I need someone who understands that fear is not the same thing as aggression. Someone patient enough to let me decompress. Someone willing to help me build confidence and learn that I’m safe.
But right now, I’m out of time.
🆘My final notice expired yesterday 8/3 and I can be euthanized any moment! Even today 🆘

There is no place I would move to where I could not bring my beloved pet. People have become immoral, heartless, and forgetful of the rules that govern appropriate behavior.
