About Stewy

Stewy is a resilient rescue dog, overcoming a rough start after being neglected and abandoned in a crate. Almost euthanized, he was saved by a caring volunteer who saw his potential. Though still learning to trust humans, he's come a long way since arriving with his fosters just two weeks ago. While not overly affectionate yet, Stewy prefers the company of other dogs, making him a great playmate, especially for his foster brother. He is learning the importance of sharing, as he can be a bit grabby with food and treats. With continued patience and love, his true personality is emerging. Housebroken and comfortable on a leash, he is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and ready for a family in Blacksburg. If you’ve ever wanted to give a second chance to a deserving dog, consider Stewy. Ready to make a difference? Submit an application today!
