STEVIE's Story

MEET STEVIE!<br/><br/>Stevie is an 8-10 year old Pekingese who was found running along a highway by the Philadelphia Police Department and brought to animal control. Stevie has had a chance to recover and has received a full veterinary catchup. She's now ready to land the perfect home!<br/><br/>Stevie's personality doesn't match her small body. She's both snuggly and sweet while maintaining a level of independence. She'll happily snuggle up in your lap or next to you on the couch but will need some help getting up. She's not shy to use her voice and tends to be vocal when she needs to be, like when she needs to go potty of when she knows it's mealtime but doesn't bark excessively. She needed her coat shaved in order to address some serious matting but she's still sporting some serious fluff. She weighs around 13 lbs. so nice and easy to scoop up since stairs can be tricky for her short, senior body. <br/><br/>Since joining the rescue, Stevie's had a cardiology workup to check on a murmur and to clear her for anesthesia. She received a dental cleaning with some extractions which has made eating both wet and dry food easier. In fact, eating is one of her favorite activities and she'll sing you a song and do some spins when she knows dinner is coming. Not uncommon for her breed type, Stevie can be a little possessive of her food and treats and prefers to eat away from the other pets in her foster home. She is currently living with other small dogs and will sometimes give appropriate corrections if they're too in her space, but otherwise mostly ignores them. We believe she'd be the same around cats. Stevie would probably do best in a home with older children who can respect her tiny stature and old lady vibes.<br/><br/>Stevie is available for adoption through City of Elderly Love! She is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Interested in adopting her? Visit cityofelderlylove.org to complete an online adoption questionnaire!
