Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Stefano would be perfect for the empty-nester looking for someone new to love. Stefano was left in a county shelter after going blind and wandering aimlessly around his backyard for months. After rescue, one bad eye causing him pain was removed, and his teeth were cleaned. Although he's in a loving foster home, his foster mom is leaving for the Peace Corps and wants to make sure Stefano finds a forever home that will give him the love he craves. Easy to take care of, he sleeps all night and most of the day. When he needs to go out or he's hungry, he'll cry a little to let you know. After going outside, sometimes he likes to lay in the sun and listen to the sounds. His favorite time of the day is TV time, when he'll sit next to you for rubs and affection and do summersaults of joy. He enjoys going to the beach or dog parks, where he prances fearlessly forward (you'll need to keep an eye on him before he wanders away.) He gets along well with all the other foster dogs in the house, although a few of the bossy ones pick on him: I'd like to find him a home where another dog isn't picking on him, so he has confidence and feels safe.
