steve martini

Steve Martini is a sweet Golden Doodle Maltese mix, at about 1.5 years old and 30 pounds.

He was found wandering alone through an apartment complex in South LA. A kind neighbor took him in and searched for his family, but Steve had no microchip or tag, and no one came forward. Luckily, a friend of Shelter Hope stepped in, groomed him, and contacted us to help find him a home.

Sadly, during his neuter appointment, the vet discovered he had attack wounds on his stomach from his time as a stray. Despite everything he has been through, Steve’s heart remains gentle, sweet, and full of love.

Steve Martini is still settling and remains quite timid, but is slowly working on his confidence. He is affectionate, gentle, and loves pets. He gives the sweetest kisses and bonds with people who show him patience and kindness. He is great with gentle kids and other dogs, and with a little time, he’ll blossom into the happy dog he is meant to be.

Steve Martini is fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, and now he is ready for a home where he can finally feel secure, loved, and cherished. If your heart is open to a patient, tender, and loyal friend, Steve Martini is ready to meet you!
