Stewie Winter is a friendly handsome hunk of a puppy with a thick merle coat and a sweet, calm presence. Despite having minimal vision since birth, Stewie navigates the world with optimism and joy: he’s curious in safe spaces, playful with other social creatures, and affectionate with humans. He uses his other senses to map out his immediate environment quickly, and navigates familiar spaces easily. Understandably, Stewie is very sensitive to loud noises, especially moving noises like traffic. His world is intentionally kept small as he is learning about this big world, but h e is a smart boy and has a good amount of brave. With appropriate exposures in small doses and paired with positive reinforcement, he is building his confidence every day. Stewie is an intelligent people pleaser and wonderfully mild‑mannered. He responds well to guidance (and treats!), is calm in the crate, rides well in the car, and is doing well with house training. One of his favorite pastimes is napping, but he also enjoys romps with other social puppies and adults, as well as playing with toys on his own and training and sniffy games. Stewie is a smart boy and has learned "sit" easily, and is working on building a vocabulary that will help him navigate this world. As a young pup with limited vision, he will need an adopter who is patient and understanding, has a quiet home and lifestyle, and will advocate for his needs. He will also need continued support through all the puppy basics as well, like housetraining, crate time,
