About Luna and Bowie

Meet Luna and Bowie! Luna (6 years old) and Bowie (9 years old) are hoping for their forever home or forever foster home - a home and people that are looking for devoted companionship from this duo. (Learn about SWESR's 'Furever Foster' program.) If you are one who is devoted to your pets, this pair is for you! (Bowie and Luna's previous owners moved overseas and were unable to take them.) Bowie, a stunning chestnut field English Setter and the older of the two at approximately 9 years old, is a spry, handsome, and dapper fellow. While his expressions are often watchful and serious, he is a cuddler looking for a companion who will be as devoted to him as he is to you. Don't be fooled by Bowie's age, as he is able to run and turn on a dime, enjoys walks, and explores the backyard, especially when a human companion is with him. He also welcomes play sessions inside of the home. Bowie welcomes belly rubs and love, but will let you know with a grumble or growl if you are petting an area that bothers him. (Bowie does not care for being picked up or moved about much, and is rather nervous when visiting the vet. When he is nervous, he may present the aforementioned grumble or growl.) Bowie appreciates his meals and will do a dance if he thinks his dinner time has passed and wants to draw your attention to the time. Luna, a beautiful blue field English Setter, is a sweetie pie and has a sensitive soul. Thus, soft, kind, positive words for training work best, as well as treats, the same as for Bowie. Luna is also devoted to her humans, and wants to be with you and near you all the time. She loves her toys and will bring you a toy if you have been away, even if you've been in another part of the house for just a short while. Luna will also play catch with her toys with you. She also loves walks and has a very pretty point when she encounters a bird or hears something rustling in the grass or trees. It may take Luna a bit longer to show her personality, but her happiness when greeting you will give away just how deep her emotions and attachment run. Bowie and Luna are accustomed to having furniture rights: They want to snuggle on the couch with you, as well as sleep next to or near to you. They both love walks and exploring, but are strong and have a tendency to pull - especially at the beginning of a walk when they are excited. Since both Bowie and Luna are treat- and food-motivated, their current fosters believe they will respond to treats/rewards to learn how to walk without pulling, such as on a loose leash. Both Bowie and Luna know the commands for 'sit' and 'stay,' particularly when treats are involved. Luna and Bowie are house-trained. Luna could lose some weight. But she loves to walk as well as explore the backyard when her humans are with her, which will no doubt help with that effort. She will also gladly play (and exercise) with you in the house via fetch with her stuffed toy. Bowie is currently taking allergy medicine once a day. Giving medicine to Bowie is easy. He is eager to have his additional treat in the morning. Bowie and Luna ride well in the car, although they get a bit concerned and vocal if one of their humans leaves the vehicle, even with the other human present. When enroute, they are as quiet as mice and simply relax during the ride. Tethering the two when in the car works fine. Bowie and Luna would be a great match for anyone seeking loving, congenial dogs, particularly for those who are home most of the time and looking for companionship. This duo has a lot of love to give, and both Bowie and Luna enjoy being with their humans. They do not enjoy being separated from their people. (While not destructive, the pair will bark when their humans leave the house.) Currently Bowie and Luna enjoy a medium-sized fenced backyard with a six-foot privacy fence. They are not currently sharing a home with other pets or children. Prey drive is unknown. They are curious about open doors.Thus, a watchful eye on gates, doors, etc., is recommended, especially in the beginning when they are getting used to a new environment. Since Bowie has some sensitivity about being touched in certain areas, and does not care for being picked up or scooped up at this time, we recommend a house that will be respectful when he lets others know that he is uncomfortable and would like a little space. He is quick to cuddle up to one after voicing his opinion and truly is a cuddle bug, albeit with some occasional, modest boundaries.
