He’s crate trained and happily settles into his pen with a simple “go to bed,” especially if he knows a small reward is coming his way. House training is still in progress — he hasn’t quite learned how to signal when he needs to go out. But he responds beautifully to outdoor praise and is making gradual improvements. Rowdy has been learning leash manners and is showing promising progress. He loves free play in the yard or a relaxing stroller ride. With a patient adopter, he’ll be a solid walker in no time. He’s shy with new people at first, but once in your arms, Rowdy transforms into a confident, affectionate little guy. When he met new family members on a beach trip, he warmed up immediately and spent the day enjoying snuggles. His behavior with other dogs is similar — timid initially, but with the potential to make canine friends through gentle introduction. Quiet by default, Rowdy occasionally barks when startled. Apartment life would suit him fine, and he’s perfectly capable of being an only dog. His energy level sits at a lively moderate — he loves to play and roam outdoors with his buddy Mary Jane, and go on long walks, but he’s equally thrilled to curl up on a warm lap. Why adopt Rowdy? Because he’s irresistibly cute, affectionate, and fun-loving. He adores being outside, loves riding in a stroller, and would thrive tagging along to festivals, patios, or just cozying up at home. He’s cheerful, loyal, and greets each morning with pure happiness — the perfect companion for someone wanting a sweet adult dog who gives his whole heart. EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Rowdy's owner passed away and he has come to BFPA to find his new home. Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed. Applicants ideally should live no more than one hour from Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian for all medical care prior to adoptions being finalized. Our foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize all adoptions. We therefore prefer to adopt locally in the Cary NC area. For the perfect home for Rowdy, we may consider a distance a bit further. INTERESTED IN ADOPTING ROWDY?
