Welcome Bowen!

Written by a CP Intakes Coordinator

Please help me welcome Col. Potter's newest boy, Bowen. Bowen is estimated to be one year old, found as a stray in Ohio. He bears a striking resemblance to quite a few other kids we've pulled from this shelter as 'intact strays'. We suspect a backyard breeder or miller, dumping their 'surplus stock'. How sad for Bowen, to be dumped in February in the Ohio cold. How lucky for him that he was found by the shelter and Col. Potter was contacted, knowing that when we have the room, we say yes to these kids.

Bowen was picked up on Saturday, and our volunteer reported:

He's a cute little guy and is very friendly. As we left the shelter, I was trying to let him potty, but he was mostly interested in running circles around me and seeing if he could completely wrap me up with the leash. He was a little whirling dervish --which I suspect is partly from being cooped up in a cage and partly puppy energy. Sweet as he is, he has no manners; he has no idea of any of the basic commands, not even "sit." I'm sure it won't take him long to catch on, but whoever had him first did not do much in the way of training.

Bowen means "reliable". Welcome, dear Bowen, we promise you that Col Potter will be RELIABLE and care for you, and find you a wonderful forever home where you will be cherished! We know you will be a RELIABLE cairn: loving, curious, funny, determined, feisty!

We are glad you are with us!
