My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there! I’m Steelix and I'm a loving and affectionate boy looking for a new place to call home. My floppy ears are just too cute, don't you think? I love being outside and I'm great on a leash. Whether you want to go for a run, a walk, or a leisurely stroll, count me in! I don't need all of your attention, but I do enjoy hanging out close to my humans. Treats are my absolute favorite, and I am always gentle when taking one from you. If you have other pets at home, a meet-and-greet would be a good idea because I can be picky about my doggy pals. I'm a cool pup and I get along with most people, but I have to admit that I'm not the best around unfamiliar men. I need a bit of time to warm up to them and feel at ease - so gradual introductions are essential. That's why I think I would be happiest in a home with only adults, or a household with older kids where I can be surrounded by familiar faces and lots of love. I'm a friendly and affectionate guy once I get to know you, so you won't be disappointed if you give me a chance. In my downtime, you can catch me lounging on the couch or playing with fun toys and getting belly rubs. I'm such a well-behaved guy, you won't even know I'm there! So why not come and see me? I promise to fill your life with love and happiness. If you would like more information about me or would like to adopt or foster to adopt me, please contact Rowlett Animal Shelter.
