About Stevie

Stevie is an adorable little puppy, around 4 to 5 months old, weighing just 10 lbs. This Havanese/Yorkie mix is a sweet and playful companion who found his way to us after being abandoned with three other dogs. Thankfully, a neighbor stepped in to rescue them when their previous owner fled, leaving them alone and scared. Stevie is now fully vetted and ready for a loving forever home. He does well with other dogs, so we are seeking a home with another young, playful pup. He thrives in a secure environment where he can run and play, so a safe backyard is a must. According to our vet, Stevie will likely grow to about 20 lbs, making him the perfect size for a small home or apartment. He is affectionate, charming, and looking for someone who won’t be gone for long hours. Stevie has been vaccinated and microchipped and will be neutered when the time is right. We only adopt in the Greater Los Angeles areas, requiring an in-person meet and greet plus a home check. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
