Steven (20260804-02)

My story

Steven's journey began in the summer of 2020 in Asan, South Korea, when two adult dogs and seven puppies were captured by the city shelter. Steven is believed to have been the father of the litter. Frightened and overwhelmed by the shelter, his sensitive nature quickly landed him on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, Band for Animal stepped in and rescued him in October 2020, giving him the time, patience, and love he desperately needed. Over the years, Steven has blossomed into an incredibly affectionate little dog. At 7 years old and just 20 lbs, this compact jindo/corgi mix is happiest snuggled beside his people. He loves walks, squeaky and scented toys, car rides, and quiet evenings at home. Steven is house-trained, walks beautifully on a leash, sleeps soundly through the night, and has an adorable habit of "talking" with happy little grumbles before meals and walks. Steven's confidence has grown tremendously. He has lived peacefully with many other dogs at the shelter and has done well with careful, low-stress introductions. Because of his past, he would do best in a calm home with a family who will continue to let him build trust at his own pace. Steven shares a very special bond with Stella, and we hope they can find a forever home together. They bring each other comfort, confidence, and companionship, and after years of waiting, they deserve the chance to begin their next chapter side by side. If you're looking for two gentle souls who will reward your patience with endless love, Steven and Stella are waiting to meet you.
