Stewie

Here's Stewie!

Introducing Stewie! He is a 1-2 year old Yorkshire Terrier/Papillon mix. He weighs a whopping 8lbs - although he is tiny, he has quite the mighty, firecracker personality! Stewie is a very busy, highly active pup that enjoys his walks (although he is obviously quite new to walking on a leash and needs continued training of proper leash etiquette). Stewie loves to explore and sniff - no calm lap dog for Grandma here!. Stewie was likely never shown any boundaries and can be quite a handful! Turn your back, and he jumps up on chairs, desks, copier machines.......Stewie fits the breed descriptions for Yorkshire Terriers and Papillons to a "T" - high energy, lively, aloof with strangers at first, and quite spirited. This sweetheart is very anxious and nervous in new situations so he will need a calm, quiet home where he can have a consistent, daily routine. Stewie absolutely needs a home where his family will set/continually reinforce rules and boundaries for him. He will thrive in the presence of owners who can appreciate his current lack of manners (and work towards helping him be a canine good citizen) and who have experience managing small dogs with BIG personalities. Connecticut adopters only! Stewie needs a home without children due to his anxiety and may consider a home with another calm, confident Toy breed dog (he is NOT a candidate to live with dogs larger than his size as he is extremely reactive towards them). For more information about Stewie, please contact Michelle at michelle.p@poainc.org and PLEASE complete an adoption application found at www.poainc.org ASAP! To answer MULTIPLE questions, FYI if this posting is still active, yes Stewie is still available for adoption.
