Maltese Shihtzu Rescue - Bowie

Hi! My name is Bowie and I'm a Maltese Shihtzu rescue. When I was born my mommy didn't want me and I didn't get to eat for almost 3 days. When I was adopted I had almost no hair, severely under weight and had to be force fed. It was scary for awhile and my new mommy and daddy worried about me all night and day.

With constant love and affection from my mommy and daddy, I started to eat dry food and rehydrate. I was starting to feel like a new puppy. I started to grow my fur, build strong bones and muscles and play with all of my new toys. On my third trip to see my doctor, they couldn't believe I was the same Maltese Shihtzu dog. Everyone was so impressed about how healthy I am and that I have gained 4lbs since the first time they saw me.

I love my life and am so glad to have been adopted by my family. Now my favorite things to do is to give you lots of kisses, play with my brother and sister and run around outside with my buddies. I've got the life!
