Stevie

Sweet Stevie checks all the boxes you would want in a dog! He loves to get and give kisses and is extremely affectionate, playful, and obedient. Stevie is always up for an adventure, a hike, a walk, or even a run! Yet, he also enjoys his naps and independent play. He doesn't know he has a lame leg and has adjusted to it perfectly. It doesn't seem to bother him or stop him from all normal dog activities, although sometimes he needs a short break before leaping up and running after a toy. He sits like a person with legs outstretched and crossed at the ankle, not like a dog – it's adorable! Stevie will love any other dog in your life and will want to play with your cats, so supervise if the cat is not so inclined.

Ideal Home

Stevie does best around older children as he may be too playful for very small children.

Ongoing Health

Stevie has a lame leg but doesn't know it and has adjusted to it perfectly. It doesn't seem to bother him or stop him from all normal dog activities, although sometimes he needs a short break before leaping up and running after a toy.

Training & Support

Stevie loves to play, especially with stuffed toys. There isn't a mean bone in his body; he is non-aggressive and friendly, but does protect his food at times, as do most dogs. He may have a little fear with new people, but a slow and patient introduction is all it takes. Stevie plays fetch, knows basic commands, sleeps in his bed at night, and is fully potty and leash trained. Watch out though, he will steal your sock or slipper and sleep with it to keep you close, and he thinks he's a lap dog! But he won't damage it or anything in your house.
