Howie's Story

MEET HOWIE—OUR SWEET, SOULFUL BACKSTREET BOY! Howie was one of six innocent dogs discovered at a dump site in Louisiana. Someone had abandoned them there and left them to survive off nothing but garbage. Together, the five boys became our very own Backstreet Boys—AJ, Kevin, Bryan, Nick, and Howie—along with their sweet sister, Daisy, who has already made her way to New York! <br/><br/>Despite everything Howie has endured, he is the most precious, loving soul. He is almost two years old, weighs approximately 30–35 pounds, and our best guess is that he is a Jack Russell Terrier/Foxhound mix. New situations can still be frightening for Howie. He is scared of his own shadow and will sometimes cower, hide, or try to make himself as tiny as possible—but there is absolutely no aggression or meanness in this gentle boy. He simply needs a moment to realize that he is safe. And goodness, has he come a long way! Today, we introduced Howie to a brand-new situation. Someone offered him a treat, and almost immediately, he accepted it and began showing them affection. Watching him learn to trust is such a beautiful thing. Howie does wonderfully with children and has gotten along with every dog on our property. He isn't particularly interested in wild playtime—he would much rather lay low, relax, and quietly enjoy being near his people. He is naturally low-energy, keeps his crate clean, and we believe that once he settles into a loving home, his personality will continue to blossom in the sweetest way. Not into chaos or mischief—just into more confidence, affection, and love. His favorite things are simple: treats, belly rubs, peaceful days, and kind people. All Howie needs is a patient family willing to show him that he never has to make himself small again. Howie is neutered and up to date on all vaccines and preventions. He survived being discarded like he didn't matter—but now it's time for this beautiful Backstreet Boy to discover that he is worthy of everything good. Howie wants it that way: a safe home, a soft bed, and a family of his very own. He is currently still in La. His $400 adoption fee covers medical up to adoption to include vaccines, neuter, microchip, foster care and transportation from Louisiana to NY.
