Description:
Rowen came to us on 4/23/2022 from our friends at the Rescue Network after he was rescued from a reservation in South Dakota. He has always been a volunteer favorite! He was adopted in May, 2025 and returned recently. Unfortunately, he bonded very quickly and closely to the woman of the home and became very protective of her. She invested a lot of time and money in professional training but Rowen just would not accept her husband or other visitors coming into the home. It was a very difficult decision, but she had no choice but to return him to us. Rowen's adoption fee of $125 is sponsored. We're not giving up on Rowen as we do believe that his perfect fit is out there, somewhere. He has had basic training and enjoys a good, brisk walk and playing fetch. He's looking for an adult only home without a lot of foot traffic. He needs someone who is willing and able to provide him with the exercise he needs, along with consistent training and boundaries. He is strong and active. He's a happy and outgoing dog with a slight mischievous streak that is kinda endearing. He needs to be the only pet in the home. He will require regular exercise to keep him happy and well balanced. Secure fenced yard required.
