Say hello to Stu, an adorable smaller hound mix who also arrived from Okanogan County after his family's unexpected eviction through no fault of his own. This sweet, timid guy is set to be neutered on June 3rd and is confirmed dog-friendly. Stu is a gentle soul who can be a little vocal when first greeting new people (he has a lot to say!), but he quickly calms down once out on a walk. He's more skittish and unsure at the start, staying close to the ground with his nose working overtime and showing some pull on leash while he explores. He became much more comfortable toward the end of his walk and really started coming out of his shell-showing us what a loving, affectionate boy he can be once he feels secure. Stu was fine with ears and feet being touched but, like his brother, was sensitive about his hind end. He's not strongly food-motivated but did happily take a few treats and even sat for them! He's a bit more wary of people and other dogs than Steve but never reactive-just cautious. Stu will thrive in a quiet, understanding home with someone who will move at his pace, offer plenty of patience, and celebrate every little victory as he gains confidence. He's incredibly sweet once he warms up and has so much love to give.
