About Steve

Steve is a playful, smart, and affectionate 8-month-old, weighing in at 51 lbs and guessed to be a Great Dane and Pit Bull Terrier mix. His personality is easy to love—curious, gentle, and full of tail wags. He knows sit, lay down, shake, off, and back, and he’s already house and crate trained. Steve enjoys fetch, squeaky toys, and following his foster mom from room to room. He also gets along with cats and other dogs, making him a flexible fit for households with pets. Steve is happiest running and sniffing in a backyard, and snuggling on the couch after playtime. He’ll need an adopter who is home much of the day to keep up with his puppy training and energy. A private fenced yard is required as he’s still building up his immune system and isn’t suited for apartments or condos. Steve is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. If you’re looking for a happy, eager companion ready to bond, Steve’s your guy. Start your journey together! Apply now.
