Stevie is a 1.5-year-old Collie mix with the goofiest personality and the biggest heart. She’s potty trained, crate trained, and has truly blossomed in her foster home, gaining confidence every single day.
Stevie was born without eyes, but she doesn’t let that hold her back at all. She’s incredibly resilient and navigates her world beautifully once she knows her surroundings. She relies on her other senses and the people she trusts, and as a result, she forms deep, meaningful bonds with her humans.
This silly girl loves to play—especially with the big dogs—and is always ready for a round of zoomies that will absolutely make you laugh. When she’s done burning off energy, Stevie is all about the snuggles. She loves being close to her people and soaking up affection.
Stevie has an endearing little quirk: if she gets scared or isn’t quite sure what you’re asking, she’ll do a full “pancake” on the floor, which is equal parts sweet and hilarious. She’s not a huge fan of leash walks just yet, but she’s working on it and continues to improve with patience, consistency, and encouragement.
Where Stevie truly shines is as a companion dog. She’s wonderful at events, restaurants, and outings—happy to simply hang out by your side and enjoy being together. If you’re looking for a loving, funny, resilient girl who will stay close and keep you smiling, Stevie could be the perfect match. 💛🐾
