Stewie has had a rough go of it, and he needs a terrific home that will appreciate what a good boy he really is. Stewie was relinquished to the Hillsborough County Animal Shelter in January 2012 after his owners became ill and subsequently transferred to the Pasco County shelter. In March, he was pulled by a rescue that FINALLY contacted us in late March. While in shelters, Stewie became 3 pounds underweight, lost almost all of his hair to un-treated hypothyroidism, and broke his leg trying to escape a cage (can you blame him?). Stewie has been fostered and rehabilitating for some time, and he is now ready to go to a new home.
Stewie is a 'special needs' dog. He needs thyroid pills twice daily, and his leg will always have a bow to it from the un-set break. He is a really nice boy who loves people. He can be a little mouthy toward other dogs, though, so he would probably do best in a single dog home or a home with just one other dog. He appears to be about 7 years old. Please contact Carolyn
