My story

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

Stephen is a big-hearted dog who is looking for a special home to spend his remaining time in comfort and love. Stephen was found with two mast cell tumors, Local non profit (Pound Pals Downriver) thought he deserved a second chance and funded the removal of the masses.

Though his recovery was at the animal shelter, he never let it dampen his spirits.

Stephen is an incredibly friendly and outgoing dog with an infectious zest for life! He is always up for an adventure, whether it's going for a long walk in the park or playing fetch with his favorite ball. He thrives on human companionship and craves love and attention.

He has a heart of gold and will bring endless joy and happiness to the lucky family who opens their home to him.

Stephen is still an active dog who enjoys exercise and mental stimulation. He loves the sun on his face. And he especially adores car rides!

It's important to note that his activity level may decrease as his illness progresses, but he will still appreciate gentle exercise and enrichment activities that cater to his capabilities. Stephen could live for multiple years, or weeks. That just isn't something anyone can predict.

He also enjoys being the center of attention, so a household where he can receive plenty of human interaction and affection would be ideal. Stephen would appreciate a safe and comfortable indoor space where he can rest and spend quality time with his family.

Adopting Stephen requires a deep understanding of his condition and the emotional toll it can take. An adopter must be prepared for end-of-life care and be willing to provide him with a loving and supportive environment during his final days. While it may be challenging, the bond formed with Stephen and the opportunity to provide him comfort and happiness in his last moments is truly a remarkable act of kindness.

If you believe you have the heart and compassion to provide Stephen with a loving home during his remaining time, please reach out to the shelter staff. They can provide further information about his condition, discuss the adoption process, and address any concerns or questions you may have.

Giving Stephen a home filled with love and care will undoubtedly make a profound difference in his life, and the memories you create together will be cherished forever.

Stephen is housetrained (and is quite serious about that). He will not use the bathroom inside! A definite plus for a large dog!
