Imagine a world where this sweet soul, Stevie, finally finds his happily ever after! When he was discovered, it wasn’t a pretty sight. Poor Stevie was left at a shelter with his siblings and a litter of puppies, battling a heartbreaking fate. His eyes? Almost sealed shut. His fur? A tangled mess. And let’s not even talk about those patches of missing hair—a sign of a life spent in an unforgiving environment, probably used for breeding without ever feeling the comfort of a loving home. Stevie is estimated to be around 6 or 7 years old, but don’t let that fool you; he’s got a spirit that shines brighter than the sun! ☀️ But behold! With a sprinkle of TLC and a whole lot of love, Stevie has transformed into the dashing gentleman he was always meant to be. Weighing in at a robust 23 pounds, this larger-than-life Shih Tzu emanates calmness and embodies that old-soul sweetness we all adore. 🥰 He cherishes his crate and is fully house trained—talk about a treasure! Outings? He’s the perfect gentleman, making sure to impress everyone he meets. Plus, he’s undergone professional training, ensuring that his new family can build on that foundation of fabulousness. Stevie is currently in a wonderful foster home, mingling with all his buddies—both furry and feline! 🐶🐱 But let’s keep it real: our beloved Stevie does have a chronic case of dry eye, which means he’ll need lifelong eye drops. But guess what? He’s an easy patient, and trust us, he is SO worth the extra love and care! 💖 Stevie is ready for his fur-ever home! All he’s looking for is a cozy spot to call his own and someone who will shower him with the love and commitment he deserves. Think you have room in your heart for this gentle boy? Don’t hesitate!
