Looking for a dog who’s equal parts handsome, hilarious, and fun-loving? Say hello to Bourdain, a big, beautiful, fluffy boy who’s ready to steal your heart!

At first glance, he seems a tad aloof—our very own “mister cool.” But don’t be fooled! Beneath that laid-back exterior is a loving and loyal companion who will bond closely with his person and stick by your side through it all.

Bourdain is a bit of a sensitive soul (okay, maybe a tiny bit of a chicken sometimes), but that just makes him all the more endearing. He’s still figuring out the whole “living in a home” thing, but he’s incredibly smart and eager to learn—especially when it comes to crate training and building good routines. With a little patience and love, he’s going to thrive.

This goofy guy LOVES to play—he’ll happily chase toys with enthusiasm… even if he forgets the “bring it back” part. (Hey, he’s got the spirit!) He’s also a big fan of dog playgroups and enjoys hanging out with other pups, making him a great candidate for a social household. And if there’s water involved? Even better. He’s not an elite swimmer per se, but he loves plopping down int he kiddie pool with his favorite toys.

With his unique, striking good looks and his silly, fun-loving personality, he’s truly one of a kind. He’s just waiting for someone to see past his shy moments and discover the amazing, loyal companion he’s ready to become.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
