Rowan came to us from another shelter after being found as a stray. His beautiful brindle coat and radiating confidence makes him stand out in a crowd, so prepare to get noticed when you walk this big handsome boy through the neighborhood. Read on to discover some of the things we've learned about him since he arrived!

Rowan is a medium energy kind of guy, he loves long walks that give him all the time to stop and sniff the flowers or say hi to human friends along the way showing off his tricks for a one lil snacky snack (or 15 if you let him). Rowan is a total diva (you can only imagine how much ego resides in that ole head!) he requires that he be center of attention at all times so he’d prefer a home with no other animals. In true diva fashion, if you’re out on a walk, he will turn his head up and strut past all other dogs that he believe’s can’t even compare to his radiating beauty. Now don’t be fooled by this class clown, he may be the biggest most beautiful entity on the planet (his words not mine) but his leash manners come in at a close second! So if your vibe is more of a leisurely Sunday stroll over a weekend jog Rowan is your type of guy.


As much as Rowan loves the outdoors do not fret when the weather's uncooperative. Puzzle toys, slow feeders, playing tug, and training are great ways to work his brain. In fact, positive reinforcement training, using treats and praise, is a great way to bond with him as he is incredibly food motivated! Rowan has quite a few cues in his repertoire already (sit, pound it, spin, down, roll over, middle, and drop it) but I’d bet he’d be willing to share his intelligence with you since he is not only the most beautiful boy, but also the smartest as well (he said his brain so big not from his ego but rather his extensive knowledge of everything awesome).

We'd like to introduce Rowan to the whole family here at the shelter before he goes home. It might take him a few minutes to realize you're not just another one of his adoring fans here to shower him in snacks, and that you are in fact worthy of his goofy snuggles and playtime. Like all the pampered divas of the world, Rowan requires beauty rest from the exhausting life of being the world’s most beautiful celebrity. He values his independence because having millions of fans world wide can be quite exhausting and without his glam team on deck, he has the huge responsibility of keeping himself flawless for all his public appearances. Don’t be surprised if after a nice long play session of him being all over you (since you will be so honoured to be rubbing his belly while he shows you all his toys-his words not mine) he gets up and decides he needs time alone to freshen up before his next public appearance.

Could Rowan be the dog you've been hoping to meet? Why not hop in the car and take a ride out here to Lollypop Farm to meet him and our other available dogs? You could find yourself heading home with love on the end of a leash.
