Adoption Fee: $700 Meet Stuart Little: The Tiny Dog with a Giant Personality Stuart Little may only weigh 9lbs, but his heart and spirit are as big as any dog’s! This 2 year old Miniature Schnauzer mix has had a rough start, but now he’s living his best life in his foster home, enjoying the simple pleasures—like naps on the couch, sunbathing, and taking peaceful walks with his senior dog sister. Stuart is low-maintenance, calm, and absolutely adorable, with a sweet underbite that’s impossible to resist. He’s a great fit for someone who wants a lovable companion that’s content just being by your side. A Day in the Life of Stuart Little Stuart’s days are peaceful, relaxed, and full of cozy moments. He gets up around 7:30–8am, starts the day with a potty break, and then takes his sweet time before breakfast (he’s not in any rush, but he does love a little kibble when the mood strikes). His meals are served at 9am, but he’s not one to gobble them down immediately—he’s more of a slow eater, which just adds to his relaxed demeanor. Stuart enjoys 2–3 short walks a day, always happily accompanying his blind Bichon buddy. Whether it's a morning stroll or a midnight walk under the stars, Stuart’s down for whatever—though he prefers not to go solo. He loves hanging out in the living room, curled up on the couch, lounging under the table, or snuggling up on a pillow (he’s also been known to follow his foster mom upstairs and curl up on her bed, just to stay close). When dinner time rolls around, Stuart eats around 6:30, and if he finishes his bowl early, he’s a patient little guy, sitting quietly by the empty bowl and waiting for a bit more. Stuart’s Personality: A Calm, Cool, and Collected Companion When Stuart first arrived in his foster home, he was understandably a bit timid, but it didn’t take long for him to warm up. He’s a quiet, reserved little guy—no barking unless startled, and even then, it’s short-lived. Stuart is happy to be held, but he’s not overly demanding. He’s not much of a snuggler, but he’ll gladly hop into your lap if you’re watching TV or working on your laptop. Stuart isn’t particularly interested in toys (unless there’s cheese involved), but he does love treats—especially cream cheese and Havarti, so if you’re looking to win him over, those will do the trick! He’s friendly, but a little shy with new people, and he loves watching the squirrels and birds outside from his perch on the balcony. His idea of a good time? A sunny spot in the yard, where he can relax and soak up some rays. Stuart is incredibly adaptable; whether it’s a car ride, hanging out with friends, or taking a leisurely walk, he’s always down for an adventure… as long as there’s a little relaxation afterward. Why Stuart is the Perfect Companion Stuart is the definition of low maintenance, and he’s ready to find his forever home with someone who wants a calm and quiet companion. Whether you live in an apartment or a house, Stuart will fit right in. He doesn’t need constant attention, but he’s always happy to be with you. If you’re looking for a small dog with a big heart who is content lounging by your side but will also happily join you for a stroll or visit to a friend’s house, Stuart’s your guy. He’s easygoing, adaptable, and—let’s not forget—completely adorable. Whether he’s curled up under a chair or soaking in the sunshine, Stuart makes every moment sweeter. And with his charming underbite, he’s got the cuteness factor down to a science! A Little Extra Stuart Magic If you’re wondering what’s so special about Stuart, let me tell you—he’s a dog who knows how to make himself comfortable. After all, who else could escape a doughnut collar within an hour? (He may be small, but he’s got some serious skills!) But beyond his cleverness and adorable quirks, Stuart has a heart of gold. He’s low-maintenance but full of love. He’s not one to demand attention, but he’ll shower you with loyalty, companionship, and joy. If you’re looking for a laid-back, sweet little companion to complete your family, look no further—Stuart Little is waiting to be your new best friend. Don’t miss out on this little guy who’ll steal your heart with his big personality.
