About Stewie

Meet Stewie, a charming weiner mix with a knack for making friends! This loveable 6-year-old enjoys the company of larger dogs and has the longer legs to keep pace. Weighing around 30 pounds, he currently resides in Quincy with his foster dad and fellow canine buddies. Stewie is good with kids but would do best in an adult-only home, given his lack of experience around little ones. He appreciates introductions to new people and needs a little time to warm up to them. This social pup thrives with a compatible canine sibling or two, enjoying regular walks and playtime. However, Stewie has some guarding instincts tied to past experiences and is reactive in certain situations. He’s received professional training and shows ease around his foster and their dogs, but it’s crucial that his new adopter is confident and experienced with dog behaviors. Proper guidance will help Stewie continue to shine in a loving environment. His foster describes him as an easy-going angel, ready for his next chapter! Stewie is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and house trained. Think you can provide the care and confidence he needs? Ready to meet your new fluffy companion? Hit apply and let’s get started!
