Hello! I'm Bowser, and I'm practically the cutest dog you'll meet. Seriously, a Sharpei mixed with a Dachshund... doesn't get any more ridiculously adorable. When the nice people at APA first met me at the shelter, I was totally terrified. I wouldn't come say hello, I didn't like being picked up, that place was so loud and scary I didn't like it! Every day those same people would come back to pet me, so I started to realize maybe people aren't all bad, and gave a few wags of the tail to show my trust. After about 6 days, and meeting lots of different nice people at APA, I'm happy to be rubbed and petted and picked up even. Thank goodness APA gave me the chance, now I'm out of the shelter and get to go to the adoption sites every day, and I couldn't be happier! If you're interested in me (and who wouldn't be) you can find out where I'll be each day by going to http://www.austinpetsalive.org/adopt/available_dogs.php
