As an infant, Bowey was adopted from the Gateway Pet Guardians in East Saint Louis, Illinois. However, he was returned to the facility shortly after. Instead of staying in a shelter for several months, he was lucky enough to be placed in a foster home after just a few months. But when it comes time to find a permanent home, no one wants him.

Days turned into months, months turned into years, and after 1,250 days, Bowie still hadn’t been adopted. Bowie is a very sweet and friendly dog that is well trained.
His adoption fee was paid, and the rescue agreed to provide Bowie’s prospective adopter with four free private training sessions and a professional photo session.

Gateway Pet Guardians decided to share Bowie’s story on social media, hoping to attract the attention of someone wanting to give him a chance. Their post went live and they received over 40 applications from people who wanted to adopt Bowie. They looked at them all very carefully to find him the perfect home.
