Stewart

Meet Stewart!<br/><br/>Stewart's story began when he was found wandering as a stray. He wasn't microchipped or neutered, and despite efforts to locate his owner, no one came forward to claim him. Their loss is definitely someone else's gain because Stewart is an absolutely adorable little dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart.<br/><br/>Since entering foster care, Stewart has acclimated beautifully to home life. He lives with his foster mom, Debbie, and her two resident dogs, and he integrated into the pack with ease. While he was a little annoying to the other dogs before being neutered, that behavior has already improved significantly. He gets along well with his canine housemates but isn't dependent on them for companionship, which means he'd be happy as either an only dog or in a home with another friendly pup.<br/><br/>Stewart has also met the resident cat and done very well. He's curious but respectful and has shown no interest in chasing.<br/><br/>Personality-wise, Stewart is a confident little guy with plenty of charm. Like many small dogs, he can have moments of frantic "little dog energy" before quickly settling down and returning to his calm, relaxed self. He's also an excellent watchdog. If he hears a noise outside or someone arrives at the door, he'll be the first to sound the alarm. Once he's made his announcement, though, he's usually happy to go back to whatever he was doing.<br/><br/>Underneath that confident exterior is an incredibly sweet and cuddly dog. If you pick him up, he melts into your arms and becomes completely relaxed. His foster mom says this is when he's at his absolute cutest—like a little teddy bear who just wants to be held.<br/><br/>Stewart has good house manners and is both crate-trained and housetrained. Like many unneutered male dogs, he marked when he first arrived, but since his neuter, that behavior has improved considerably. He reliably asks to go outside, sleeps quietly through the night in his crate, and has adapted well to household routines.<br/><br/>He's also a pleasure to walk. Stewart does well on leash, whether walking with other dogs or on his own, and has shown no leash reactivity. He enjoys exploring the neighborhood and taking in all the sights and smells.<br/><br/>When visitors arrive, Stewart may announce their presence with a few barks, but he warms up quickly and is more than happy to soak up attention from new people. His barking is generally focused on alerting his family to noises and activity around the home rather than any true concern about strangers.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a confident, affectionate, entertaining little companion who can make you laugh one minute and cuddle up beside you the next, Stewart may be the perfect match. His foster mom gives his cuteness a perfect 10 out of 10, and we're inclined to agree.<br/><br/>Stewart will be coming to DC metro in early July.<br/><br/>Apply today!<br/><br/>BEED ESTIMATE: Pomeranian<br/>GENDER: Male<br/>APPROXIMATE WEIGHT: 10 lbs<br/>APPROXIMATE AGE: ~ 2 years old<br/>COAT TYPE: longer coat that needs regular grooming.<br/>ADOPTION FEE: $425<br/>OTHER INFO: UTD on shots/neutered/microchipped<br/>LOCATION: Charlotte, NC<br/><br/>FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application.<br/><br/>You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted.
