About Stevie Albania

Stevie’s story is one we will never forget. He was found alone in a small village in Durrës, curled up tightly in a corner, trying to disappear from a world that must have felt terrifying. Blind, starving, and painfully thin, Stevie could barely move. The streets were no place for a dog like him, and without help, he would not have survived much longer. A volunteer found him and made a desperate plea for help. With nowhere safe for him to go, euthanasia was even being considered. But Stevie was given a chance — and thank goodness he was. Despite everything he has been through, Stevie is pure love. He is the definition of a cuddle bug and wants nothing more than hugs, affection, and a safe person to curl up beside. He is house trained, leash trained, rides great in the car, and loves people, kids, and other dogs. Because Stevie is blind, he would do best in a calm, peaceful home without high-energy dogs. He is a low-energy boy who feels safest in a quiet environment where he can relax and simply be loved. Stevie has already survived more than any dog should ever have to. Now he just needs a soft place to land and someone willing to show him how beautiful life can still be (function () { // Only on animal detail pages if (!/\/animals\/detail/i.test(location.pathname)) return; // Debounce to avoid double-fire (touchend + click, etc.) var lastNavAt = 0; function toFullSize(url) { try { var u = new URL(url, location.href); u.searchParams.delete('width'); u.searchParams.delete('height'); return u.toString(); } catch (e) { return url || ''; } } function looksLikeAnimalPhoto(url) { return /\/pictures\/animals\/\d+\/\d+\/[^?#]+\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)/i.test(url || ''); } function handler(e) { var el = e.target; if (!el) return; // Find the closest anchor or image in the click path var a = el.closest ? el.closest('a') : null; var img = el.closest ? el.closest('img') : null; var url = ''; // Prefer anchor href if it points to an animal photo if (a && a.getAttribute) { var href = a.getAttribute('href') || ''; if (href && (href.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(href))) { url = href; } } // Otherwise fall back to the image src if (!url && img && img.getAttribute) { var src = img.getAttribute('src') || ''; if (src && (src.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(src))) { url = src; } } if (!url) return; // Absolute URL + full-size version try { url = new URL(url, location.href).toString(); } catch (_) {} url = toFullSize(url); // Stop PrettyPhoto (and any other delegated click handlers) e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); if (e.stopImmediatePropagation) e.stopImmediatePropagation(); // Debounce var now = Date.now(); if (now - lastNavAt < 500) return; lastNavAt = now; // SAME TAB navigation to the full-size image location.href = url; } // Capture phase is the key: we get the event before PrettyPhoto.
