Steelix

Hi there! I’m Steelix, a loving and affectionate boy on the lookout for a special place to call home. With my floppy ears and charming personality, I’m sure to steal your heart! While I can be a bit on the shy side at first, I adapt well to new environments, especially when given the chance to explore them gradually. You see, I’ve been known to warm up quickly to new friends—especially the wonderful shelter staff and volunteers who take the time to get to know me. I thrive on companionship and enjoy being outdoors. Whether you prefer a brisk run, a leisurely walk, or just a cozy stroll, I’ll be right by your side, happy as can be. I don’t require constant attention, but I do love being nearby, soaking up all the love and cuddles you have to offer. Treats? Yes, please! I’m a total pro at taking them gently from your hand. If you have other pets at home, I think a meet-and-greet would be a great idea, as I can be a bit particular about my doggy buddies. I’m generally friendly with most people, but I’ll admit I can be cautious around unfamiliar men, so gradual introductions are key. Given my temperament, I believe I would thrive in a home with adults or older kids who can give me the patience I need to adjust. I might get overlooked sometimes, but once you give me a chance, I’ll show you just how affectionate and loyal I can be. In my downtime, you can find me lounging on the couch, enjoying some fun toys, or relishing those oh-so-good belly rubs. With my well-behaved nature, you might even forget I’m there—until you feel my warm snuggles! While I adore the shelter staff and volunteers who care for me, my ultimate wish is to find a forever home where I can truly belong. So if you’re ready to welcome a gentle, loving companion into your life, come meet me! I promise to fill your days with joy and warmth.<br/><br/>For more information or to adopt, foster, or foster-to-adopt this pet, please contact Rowlett Animal Services<br/><br/>972-412-6219<br/>or<br/><br/>AnimalServices@Rowlett.com<br/>.<br/>12/8/25 8:15 PM
