MEET STEVIE:
Stevie is a 3-year-old, 8-pound Pomeranian mix who has been through unimaginable hardships. Despite his heartbreaking past, he has emerged as a brave and resilient fella who is eager to find his forever home.
Stevie's journey began when he was found in terrible condition, reportedly as a stray. However, it's unlikely that he wandered far from home, and we believe he was likely abandoned or dumped by someone who failed to provide him with proper care. He was discovered at the Macomb County jail, where he was aimlessly wandering in unconfined conditions with an overwhelming stench and a coat stained with urine. Unfortunately, his matted coat had to be shaved down, revealing his true beauty.
Stevie's eyes never fully developed, making him vision impaired. His left eye has some vision of light and shadows, which allows him to navigate his surroundings with caution. Despite this challenge, Stevie is a sweet boy who has adapted to his disability and is eager to find a loving home. He has done well with other respectful dogs, but we do not recommend a home with puppies that have no respectful boundaries as Stevie is at a disadvantage when it comes to playful interactions. He has shown no interest in cats, and likely couldn't catch one if he tried! He can be a tripping hazard as he cannot fully understand the concept of moving out of the way, so his family will need to be conscience of where he is at all times.
What Stevie Needs
To thrive in his new home, Stevie will require:
- Regular grooming to maintain his coat and prevent future matting
- A patient family that understands the unique challenges of having a vision-impaired dog
- Consistency and time to map out his home and learn to become fully house-trained
- A quiet environment with a cautious family
- A home without young children, as they may not be able to understand his special needs
- A safe and secure environment with no stairs or high furniture (he may not be able to jump down safely)
- A fenced yard or supervised outdoor time to ensure his safety
What Stevie Offers

- A loyal companion who is eager to please
