About Steven

Steven is a young, medium-sized Husky/Shepherd/Bulldog mix looking for a fresh start in Upper Sandusky, OH. At about 5 to 6 months old, he lost his former home due to his owner's declining health, not because of anything he did. Steven’s previous owner says he got along well with other dogs, cats, and children. Since arriving, he’s done well with other dogs at the shelter, though staff haven’t directly tested him with cats or little kids since. He’s still a puppy and learning the ropes with both house-training and leash walking, so expect to spend some time helping him figure things out. Steven comes wrapped in a short, light-colored coat, blending white, cream, and pale yellow. He’s energetic, social, and eager to find someone patient for training and companionship. The adoption fee is sponsored for him. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
