About Stewie

Stewie is a young, medium-sized heeler mix who came into care after being struck by a car. He’s about six months old, currently weighs around 31 lbs, and has been found heartworm negative. Medical complications from the accident include muscle wasting, cataracts, and difficulty getting around, but he has made real progress. Over time, Stewie’s quirky and playful side has emerged, showing that even with his disabilities, he can light up a room. He could use a dedicated foster home or a rescue partner willing to support his rehabilitation and longer-term care needs. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
