Meet Stymie, an easy-going 8-year-old with a mellow nature and a playful streak. His story is a bit unusual—he spent years on the streets, cared for by a whole community before coming into rescue. After a stint at the Downey Shelter, Stymie found himself with a safe place at the kennel. Out of the chaos, this big guy learned to enjoy the quieter things: hiking, riding in the car, and working on his training. Stymie weighs in around 65lbs and has been neutered, vaccinated, crate-trained, and microchipped. He gets along with other dogs, but a home with children isn’t the right fit for him. He’ll thrive with someone dog-savvy who gives him the structure and clear leadership he craves. This Shepherd/Husky mix is eager to please and always shows up ready to learn. Born July 14, Stymie is a Cancer—a classic homebody who forms deep bonds with his people. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
