Stew is a completely fabulous dog with a beautiful soul. He is a great listener and always ready to be by your side. He is guaranteed to keep you laughing too. He has a sad backstory but he has overcome all the bad things from his past and he is ready to LOVE and LAUGH! Stew landed at a rural shelter as a stray. He arrived with a limp and an x-ray revealed a shattered patella and fractured femur from a gunshot wound! (How anyone could harm this beautiful soul is beyond us) His leg could not be repaired and was amputated. Stew recovered nicely and is faster than most dogs we know with 4 legs. Stew is great on a leash and working on house training.

WHAT'S BEHIND THE NAME
Our rescue is named from the location in which we serve, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. As most people who live here already know, rouge means red. K9 is shorthand for canine or dog. Our name, K9 Rouge, therefore means "red dog". Even though our state of Louisiana is well known for the blue dog artwork, "red dog" means something different to us. Most canines in need of rescue and that are adopted through our rescue are mixed breeds and in most cases one or both of the parents may not be known. If you remember the story of Clifford the big red dog, you remember that he was the smallest dog in his litter and grew up to be the largest dog to ever exist. We like to remind potential adopters that puppies can grow larger than expected especially at a young adoption age. We encourage anyone who has reservations on the size of their new companion to please consider adopting a full-grown adult dog. Dogs of all breeds and sizes are in need of forever homes and this isn't a commitment to be entered into lightly.
