Meet Stevie — your future adventure buddy and professional tail wagger!
Stevie is a 2-year-old spayed female Staffordshire Terrier mix weighing around 40 pounds. She's currently soaking up the love in her foster home in HOUSTON, Texas, and is ready to travel out of state once her perfect match is approved!

With her sparkling eyes and zest for life, Stevie is a bundle of fun and affection wrapped in a sleek, athletic frame. She’s got an enthusiastic play style and isn’t shy about making new dog friends — whether they’re Chihuahuas or German Shepherds. She loves a good romp, wrestling session, or game of chase, and she always greets her canine companions with a wagging tail and a cheerful spirit. Despite her energy, Stevie is respectful when her playmates need a break and takes social cues like a pro.

On leash, Stevie brings her enthusiasm to the great outdoors. She may pull at first with excitement, but she’s learning to settle and walk calmly at your side — especially if there’s a treat involved (she’s very food-motivated!). She’d make a great jogging or hiking partner for someone looking for a fun-loving sidekick.

Stevie is house-trained, crate-trained, and trustworthy when left alone — although she does best with plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. Without it, she may get a little mischievous, she’s the type of dog who thrives when given purpose, play, and puzzles!

While Stevie adores kids, her bouncy and exuberant energy is best suited for a home with older children who can match her lively pace. She’s affectionate, independent, and clever, with just the right amount of sass to keep you on your toes. She’s known for sneaking food containers off the counter — not just for herself, but to share with the other dogs. That’s Stevie: always the thoughtful rebel.

At the end of a busy day, she’s all about couch cuddles and snuggle time. She loves being close to her humans and knows how to wind down when it’s time to relax.

Stevie’s ideal home has:
- A large yard to burn off energy
- Another playful dog for companionship
- Humans who are active, patient, and ready to laugh
- A love for quirky, spirited dogs with big hearts

She’s not a huge fan of car rides unless the windows are down or she has a distraction — but that’s just part of her charm.

We have no history with cats, so a cat-free home is recommended.

Stevie has waited long enough for her forever home — could it be yours?
