Stevie Wonder

Like my namesake, I don't need sight to find the rhythm of life — I just need the right person to dance through it with me. I'm Stevie Wonder, a 10 year old, 30 pound gentleman with a gentle heart, a quiet soul, and a whole lot of love to give. I am diabetic, and have approximately 30% of my sight back with medicine, but I don't let that stop me from living a full, happy life — I just do it at my own pace. I follow the sound of your voice, listen to commands, and respond best to a calm, patient presence. I can even run with the big dogs now! I'm housebroken and I'll need someone who can help me stay on a routine — let me out during the day and maybe once at night. I do great on leash and I'm fine living in a house or apartment, as long as there are no stairs or someone committed to helping me navigate safely. I'm good with other dogs — as long as they respect my space. I don't want to play or be pestered, so calm, polite pups are best. I don't pay cats any mind, and Im not interested in engaging with them either. Young kids may not be a great fit, since I can be a little nippy when startled, but respectful, older kids who understand my needs would be just fine. One of my favorite things is sitting in a chair with my foster mom in the evenings, just relaxing together. I'm a sweet, loving soul who's already done a complete 180 since arriving in foster care — and I've only been here a few weeks. With time, love, and a little patience, I'll continue to blossom. I'm not looking for fast-paced or flashy. I'm looking for steady, gentle, and kind. If you're ready to give a special guy the chance to shine in his own quiet way — I promise, I'll make a wonderful companion. <br/><br/>As a senior, my adoption fee is $75 and includes my spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip!
