Steve

Uncle Steve: Shepherd. Social Butterfly. Certified Goofball.<br/><br/>He earned the nickname "Uncle Steve" thanks to his incredible social skills — he’s the dog our staff rely on to help bring shy or nervous pups out of their shells. Whether a dog is bouncing off the walls or hiding behind their person, Uncle Steve knows exactly how to meet them where they are and invite them into gentle, joyful play. <br/><br/>He’s also... well, a little funny-looking. His legs go on for miles, and he moves like someone put a shepherd on stilts. But that just makes him more lovable. Steve enjoys exploring, did great in his foster weekend in Greenwood, and has been a total star with dogs of all sizes.<br/><br/>If you want a dog who’s equal parts heart and hilarity, Steve’s your guy.<br/><br/>The Seattle Animal Shelter is committed to reducing length of stay for all of our shelter pets!
