About Steve

Steve's story is one of resilience. Discovered at the local shelter in a laundry basket, he was left there surrounded by trash. The shelter's staff initially thought humane euthanasia might be best due to his condition. But when Steve heard the commotion, he lifted his head as if to say, "I'm still here." He was found extremely malnourished and neglected, weighing about 4-6 pounds less than he should. His toenails were so long that they were curling back into his pads. Although he has a long road to recovery, he's gaining strength each day. With time, he’ll fully heal and show you just how much love he has to offer. Keep an eye out for updates. Steve needs a little extra care as he continues to recover from his past. Given his rough start, he might benefit from a patient and loving home that can help him adjust. What are you waiting for?
