Meet Stevie Nyx Yes. That Stevie. The velvet-voiced, moon-drenched, slightly witchy woman of Fleetwood legend... except this one has four legs and a tail that keeps better rhythm than most drummers. Stevie Nyx is a 3 year old Shepherd mix, approximately 60 pounds of soft fur and mystical devotion. She was once found wandering a neighborhood like a wandering lyric, no band, no backup, just vibes. And yet here she is, ready for her encore. Despite her unscripted past, Stevie arrived not cynical, not guarded, but gloriously gentle. She greets people with a quiet, golden warmth, as if she has already written your name in her setlist. Friendly. Tender. Subtly enchanting. She does beautifully with other dogs, harmonizes peacefully with cats, and treats humans like the headliners they believe themselves to be. Heartworm negative. Soon fully vaccinated. Currently mastering the choreography of potty training and indoor etiquette with impressive dedication. She studies routine like it's a vintage vinyl. There is effort. There is progress. There is the unmistakable feeling that she wants to get it right. She is still intact, still new to the whole "family life" tour, and will thrive with structure, patience, and someone willing to let her unfold at her own luminous tempo. There is something atmospheric about Stevie Nyx. A soft gravity. A quiet magnetism. She will not bulldoze her way into your heart. She will drift in, slow and certain, until one day you realize she has been your favorite song all along. If you are looking for a big heart wrapped in shepherd elegance, a dog who is adaptable, affectionate, and ready to belong, Stevie Nyx is prepared to step into the light. Every great Stevie needs a stage. Perhaps yours is next. PLEASE READ BELOW: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. *An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention. For more on this, or for additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets (including an explanation about Benefactor Dogs), please see our FAQs page: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed. ***Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our animals live in foster homes where they are socialized, and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it's the perfect match!
