Introducing Howie! Howie is a 7-8 year old bully breed mix (maybe some American Bulldog), who weighs about 80 lbs and has medium energy. Howie had quite the journey before coming to POA.

He spent quite a few months with a local Animal Control, where they worked hard to help Howie learn to trust people, walk nicely on a leash, and learn basic obedience.
