🐾 Meet Stewie 💙

(Yes, like Stewie Griffin… and he absolutely lives up to the name.)

No one knows exactly how Stewie ended up alone on the streets as just a puppy — but we do know one thing: this little guy is a survivor.

Stewie survived being attacked by another animal and somehow held on long enough to be rescued. When he first arrived in foster care, he was underweight, weak, and recovering from a very hard start to life. But with love, good food, and a safe place to rest, he has completely transformed.

Now estimated to be about 1 year old and around 55 pounds, Stewie is at a healthy weight, gaining strength every day, and fully embracing puppy life.

Because of his early months, he will likely have some lifelong weakness in his back legs, and he’s a bit nearsighted — but don’t tell him that. He runs, plays, and explores like any other happy pup. He can be a little hesitant with stairs at first, but after a few tries he figures them out like a champ.

True to his name, Stewie has a mischievous streak. He’ll keep you laughing with his puppy antics — and then five minutes later he’ll curl up next to you like the sweetest little baby for a nap. He has playful bursts of energy but is equally happy stretched out in a cozy bed catching up on sleep.

Stewie was previously adopted and later returned through absolutely no fault of his own. Despite everything he’s been through, he continues to love hard and trust people with his whole heart.

He has:
*Playful puppy energy
*A love for cozy snuggles and naps
*Almost mastered potty training
*A great relationship with his foster dog brother
*A respectful friendship with his foster cat sister
*More resilience than most dogs twice his size

Stewie may have had a rough beginning, but his future is bright. He’s looking for a forever family who sees his strength, embraces his silly personality, and is ready to give him the safe, loving home he’s always deserved. 💙
