Steven (Neutered) (Photos 12/7/2024) [Bonded Pair w/Arlo]

Steven is a handsome 4-year old male American Staffordshire Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on December 6, 2024 by a Good Samaritan who found him on Echo Valley Road in the Waterford Ohio area. Steven was accompanied by his best friend Arlo (an adult Yellow Labrador Retriever) who is also in our shelter. Neither of these boys were wearing a collar, and they were not microchipped.<br/><br/>Steven has a chocolate brown-and-white coat, a long tail, and an adorable chubby face with dark brown eyes, a brown patch around his right eye, a black button nose, and semi-erect ears.<br/><br/>Steven is a very frightened boy who shows his fear by barking loud and fast when anyone approaches him or makes eye contact. Our kennel techs are still doing their best to gain Steven's trust since he isn't sure who he can trust. We have kept Arlo with Steven in their own 'bachelor's pad' where they have the freedom of not being in a kennel. Interestingly, Arlo enjoys being petted and when Steven sees Arlo getting pets .. then Steven wants them as well.<br/><br/>Neither Steven nor Arlo accepts cats into their circle of friends and cannot be trusted to be nice to them.<br/><br/>Steven is a muscular boy who weighs 68 lbs. <br/><br/>These photos were taken on December 7th 'through the looking glass' (the panes of glass on the door to the boys' apartment) since Steven wasn't quite ready to walk on a leash for outdoor photos. One (or both) of the boys had been licking the glass or putting their paws on the panes, so several of their photos are blurry for that reason (smile).<br/><br/>In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Steven and Arlo will be held for three days so that their family will have an opportunity to reclaim them with proof of ownership.<br/><br/>Update: Steven was neutered on September 24, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine.
