Notes from Oakland Animal Services
Meet Rowan, a sweet young terrier mix with a gentle nature and a soft spot for affection! This handsome 11-month-old boy may have been a little shy when he first arrived at the shelter, but once he feels comfortable, he’s happy to lean in for pets and spend time with his people. He walks nicely on leash, takes treats gently, and is already showing that he can learn new things with a little encouragement.
Rowan enjoyed meeting other dogs during playgroup, where he started out sticking close to his sibling before gradually venturing out to explore and engage in some gentle play. He could be a good match for a well-suited canine companion or enjoy life as a solo dog with opportunities to make dog friends.
As a young pup, Rowan is still learning the basics and would love a family who can help him build his confidence and practice skills like sit, recall, and leash walking using positive reinforcement. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion to grow with, Rowan could be your guy!
