Hi!
My name is Steve and I arrived to OPH on 8/16/24. I’m guessed to be a mixed breed dog. I am a 2 year old boy and weigh about 32lbs. Currently being fostered in Arlington, Va.

📝 Notes from my foster parent:

So far, Steve has been a DREAM boy, and such a lovable, gentle and fun friend who has been keeping me great company while I work from home. He’s also ready to be your new family member 🐶 Here’s why:

This Southern gentleman 🍑 is fully house trained, crate trained, and walks like a pro on a leash. Steve is still getting acclimated to the hustle and bustle of city life, but he’s making great strides with getting used to it! In his previous foster home, he was around kids as well as other dogs at the shelter and seems to be super dog & kid friendly. We have been walking with my neighbor and her two dogs and he loves them! When seeing other dogs on a walk, he is happy and non-reactive when passing by or greeting them. All in all - Steve is a perfect walking buddy!

Steve has a very low level of separation anxiety. Meaning, sometimes gets a tad fussy when left alone, but he’s very quick to settle down and relax himself on the sofa or in his crate. You can count on Steve to be waiting to greet you with a wagging tail when you return! 🤗

Personality: Steve has one of the most sweet, sensitive personalities I’ve ever come across in a dog. He is a huge cuddler - always loves lounging sessions on the sofa, and offers endless cuddles and loving gazes. He will literally melt your heart with them! 🫠❤️🐾

Steve is ready to be your adventure buddy, your loyal companion, and the newest member of your family. Are you ready to meet him? He can’t wait to meet you! 🐾

Steve Steve is currently being fostered in Arlington , VA.

All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.

This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
