Story
Calling all Terrier Lovers! Meet Stewart, aka Stewie! This scruffy little character was spotted running as a stray before making his way to safety. Since arriving, Stewie has proven himself to be bright, funny, and incredibly affectionate. He’s 1–2 years old, 17 lbs, and appears to be a wire-coat Jack Russell Terrier mix. His scruffy coat and signature “poodle-hawk” tuft make him irresistibly adorable. Stewie is currently being fostered with two moms and five other dogs. He does best with playful pups and would love a young, active buddy in his new home. He’s a wonderful mix of goofy, clever, affectionate, and fun. While he can be a little shy with new people, he warms up quickly and becomes a total velcro dog, following his humans from room to room as his silly, slightly chaotic, always-lovable personality comes out. Stewie is crate-trained and almost fully potty-trained. You still need to keep an eye on him and give him consistent breaks, but he’s really getting the hang of it! His foster mom has been doing structured crate nap times, and he now settles quickly. At bedtime, he sleeps quietly in his crate, and even trots right in on his own when the treat routine starts. Good boy, Stewie! Stewart is great on leash. He stays close, doesn’t pull much, and while he can get a bit nervous with passing people or heavy traffic, he doesn’t panic. He’s already made great progress with desensitization walks and is even more confident with a dog buddy by his side. This cute, goofy boy is also an incredibly sweet and snuggly companion. He’s an active pup who loves fun and will keep you laughing, but after a good walk or some yard zoomies, he’s perfectly happy to relax on the couch or entertain himself with a toy. Stewart is ready for a family who will enjoy his spark and help him continue blossoming into the wonderful dog he’s meant to be. Apply today!
