Steven is a beagle with a heart of gold, ready to find his forever home. At 5 years old, he has a gentle disposition that reflects his past as a former research dog. Steven thrives in a calm environment where he feels safe, making him ideal for a peaceful household. He's friendly with calm dogs of similar size, enjoying their company as he begins to explore his surroundings. In his foster home, he lives harmoniously with a cat, so feline friends are a plus. While Steven hasn't been tested with small children, he'll do best in an adults-only environment or with older kids who understand the value of a gentle approach. His energy level is medium, enjoying time in the yard and short walks, albeit he's still getting accustomed to life outside of a lab. He is familiar with leash walks and is well on his way to being house trained with a consistent schedule. This shy sweetheart finds comfort in a crate overnight and loves to snuggle during car rides. With patience and encouragement, he will blossom into a beloved family member. Steven is neutered and vaccinated, making him ready to start the next chapter in your home.
