Stevie - Pug Dog for Adoption in Waunakee, Wisconsin

Meet Stevie

If you ask Stevie to smile for the camera, prepare to be judged. He'll dramatically turn his head, lift his nose in the air, and make it very clear that paparazzi are not on today's agenda. Catching a photo of this handsome guy's face is basically a full-time job!

Stevie is a 9-year-old breeder surrender with the sweetest soul and the funniest little personality. He's visually impaired, and while his eyes are a little wonky, we think he can still see shadows because he sometimes follows movement. He also sports a permanent head tilt, which only adds to his charm. His veterinarian discovered that Stevie doesn't even have an ear canal on one side, which is most likely the reason for his adorable signature tilt.

This special little guy isn't a fan of crates or kennels, but he's much happier hanging out in a playpen. He's also working hard on his house training and making progress every day.

Stevie absolutely loves other dogs, couldn't care less about cats, and does well with respectful children. Even at 9 years old, he's still a puppy at heart! When he gets excited, he'll gently naw on your hands as if to say, "I'm so happy you're here!" It's one of his many quirky little habits that will have you laughing.

Stevie isn't looking for perfection—he's looking for someone who will love him exactly as he is. A family that sees beyond his vision impairment and head tilt, and instead sees the goofy, affectionate, resilient little pug who has so much love left to give.

If you've been searching for a one-of-a-kind companion with endless character, Stevie is ready to turn his nose up at the camera... and straight into your heart. **Dog breeds listed are best guesses from veterinary professionals, they are never a guarantee. www.brownpawsrescue.com.
