About Steven[bonded Pair Warlo]

Steven[bonded Pair Warlo] is a 4-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix who came into the shelter with his best buddy Arlo, a Yellow Lab, after wandering together near Waterford, Ohio. With a chocolate and white coat, chubby face, and a brown patch around his right eye, Steven stands out not just for his looks but also for his bond with Arlo—these two stick together in their own little corner of the shelter, avoiding the kennel life. Steven is nervous around new people and tends to bark when approached, but his trust is slowly growing, especially when he sees Arlo enjoying some affection. The staff takes things gently with him, giving him space to feel safe, especially as he figures out who he can rely on. Steven weighs in at around 68 lbs and isn’t ready for leash walks just yet—his comfort comes first, so they snapped his first shelter photos through the glass of his and Arlo’s door. He doesn’t accept cats and will need a cat-free home. Steven was neutered and vaccinated as of late September 2025. Born in early December, Steven’s sun sign is Sagittarius—known for loyalty and needing time to warm up to new experiences. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
