Update: Safe! Went to foster ❤️❤️❤️❤️
------
Stewie is in desperate need of a miracle as he continues to struggle at the shelter. Despite being given a higher dose of anxiety medication, he refuses to settle back into his room. During a trial adoption a few weeks ago, his potential adopter mentioned that Stewie behaved well in the home and was friendly with people, but not particularly affectionate. He prefers to be left alone to do his own thing. We are hopeful that with time, patience, and love, the affectionate side of Stewie will emerge if he is given the opportunity to decompress.
It has proven to be quite difficult to safely coax Stewie out of his room and back again. A secure and quiet basement may be the ideal environment for him to relax and unwind. Stewie arrived at the shelter on December 22, 2023, at around 1 year old and weighing about 60 pounds. He is not fond of other dogs or small animals, though these observations could be subject to change.
We have seen many instances where a dog blossoms in a loving home environment with the right care and attention. Stewie's time is running out, but we are holding out hope for a much-needed miracle. Our organization has been fortunate to witness miracles for our animals many times, and we are praying that Stewie will be the next recipient. He needs the support of all of us to make this happen. If you are able to help in any way, please reach out to us at [email protected].
Please share Stewie's story🙏
