About Stewy, a Senior Dog for Adoption in Pretoria
A Little Gentleman Who Loves a Conversation!
Stewy is certainly not a dog who keeps all his thoughts to himself!
His family describes him as full of character and wonderfully expressive. He enjoys communicating with his humans and has a habit of “talking” to people, which is one of the things that makes him so special.
Along with his chatty personality, Stewy has a softer side. He enjoys cuddles and being close to his people.
He’s also reported to be excellent with young children and to get along very well with other dogs.
At nine years old, Stewy has developed his own routines and preferences, and his future family should be prepared to understand and appreciate them.
Stewy Knows What He Likes!
Stewy has a few little quirks that his future family should know about.
For one thing, he’s not particularly enthusiastic about going outside when the weather turns cold or rainy!
Although he is generally house-trained, his family reports that he sometimes avoids going outdoors in unpleasant weather.
A patient family who understands this and can help him maintain a comfortable toileting routine would be ideal.
Stewy is also a fussy eater and can become constipated easily. He needs special attention to his feeding routine, with suitable veterinary guidance to keep him healthy and comfortable.
These are important considerations for anyone wanting to adopt him, but they are simply part of understanding Stewy’s individual needs.
STEWY’S IDEAL HOME
Stewy is looking for a loving, stable home where he can enjoy companionship, affection and a comfortable daily routine.
His ideal family would offer:
- Plenty of love and cuddles: Stewy enjoys affection and being close to his people.
- Understanding of his dietary needs: His family must be willing to manage his tendency towards constipation and his fussy eating habits.
- Patience with toileting: Especially during cold or rainy weather, when he may be reluctant to go outside.
- A comfortable indoor home: Where he can enjoy being part of the family.
- Companionship: People who enjoy an expressive little dog with plenty of personality.
- Children: Stewy is reported to be excellent with young children, with appropriate supervision.
- Other dogs: He gets along very well with other dogs and may be suitable for a home with a compatible canine companion.
- No cats: Stewy is not suitable for a home with cats.
IMPORTANT: Stewy needs a cat-free home and a family willing to pay attention to his dietary and digestive needs.
WHY DOES STEWY NEED A NEW HOME?
Stewy’s owners have emigrated to America, and sadly, he was unable to accompany them.
He is currently being cared for in a foster home while Little Doggy Rescue helps him find a suitable forever family.
