Meet Stewie

People's Choice Finalist

Meet Stewie

Breed: Shih Tzu

Barking from: Christchurch

What's up dog?

Stewie has been with our family for about 8 months after being a breeding pup. When he arrived, he had several anxiety and social issues, often feeling uncomfortable and fearful around people. Over time, he has been gradually overcoming these fears and gaining confidence each day. Watching him become more confident has been really rewarding, and seeing how being with our family has helped him come out of his shell is incredibly fulfilling. We love having him as part of our family now and couldn't imagine life without him.
