Owen

Meet Owen! This sweet boy is looking for a special home. He loves to play in the backyard, play with his purple ball and kiss his humans. He also loves Kongs stuffed with kibble and peanut butter, Nylabones, his stuffy Taco toy and napping on soft dog beds. Owen is a good snuggle buddy, but is still a young dog therefore is pretty busy and has lots of things to do. Owen likes to help with the laundry by dragging items out of the basket to play “keep away” with. Owen likes to meet friendly strangers and new people. Sometimes he is a little coy or shy at first, but once he knows you want to pet him and snuggle him, he warms up pretty quickly. He loves to explore new parks with foster mom. We are also working on sitting still for brushing and nail trims, but he is a young guy and intelligent. He learns quickly. He is good with other dogs and kids. And he is respectfully curious of the cat in his foster home.<br/><br/>When we rescued Owen he had limited mobility in his back legs and was incontinent. He has been going to physical therapy and has made great strides and while he can use his back legs and can zoom around quite fast, even if it's not quite "normal"! Owen is still incontinent. We do not know how much more he will improve but Owen is a very silly and intelligent boy who has SO MUCH love and so many laughs to create with you. He's our special needs boy that is looking for a special adopter to love and provide him with whatever he may need. <br/><br/>Owen is estimated to be 4 years old and weighs 20 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested. <br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting.<br/><br/>We are also holding the following upcoming adoption events!<br/><br/>Please note: All dogs/puppies will not be at every event, and some may find their home prior to the event. If you are interested in a specific animal, please check our Facebook page for confirmed attendance the morning of the event: https://www.facebook.com/safehandsrescue/ <br/>You do not need to have a Facebook account to check the Safe Hands Facebook page for attendance.
