About Stephen
Meet Stephen… part-time athlete, full-time entertainer, and self-appointed Chief Fly Patrol Officer 🪰
Stephen is exactly what you’d expect – a high-energy, ball-herding, zoomie-powered good boy who is always ready for action. If there’s a ball involved, even better… he’ll round it up like it’s his life’s purpose (and honestly, it might be). He's on the smaller size weighing in at 15.7kg.
He’s a big fan of “play bark” conversations while he entertains himself with his toys – don’t worry, he’s not being bossy, just giving you a running commentary on his very important games. Think of him as your own personal sports commentator, but cuter.
Stephen runs on a strict daily schedule:
🌅 Morning walk and playtime
🌇 Afternoon playtime (and a walk if it’s on offer)
💤 In between: recharging for more playtime
This boy is going to need an active home that can keep up with his zest for life. A yard to zoom in, a family who enjoys walks, playtime, and maybe a bit of training would be perfect.
He’s still working on his manners, so ongoing obedience training will help him become the very best version of himself (he’s already got the “sweet and loving” part absolutely nailed).
Now, a small but important note from Stephen himself: he loves chasing flies. Like, Olympic-level dedication. So, keeping the yard clean is highly recommended… unless you want to see a very enthusiastic (and slightly misguided) game of chase that could end in… unfortunate circumstances 💩😂
At the end of the day, Stephen is just a lovable goofball with a huge heart, a playful spirit, and so much love to give. With the right family, he’s going to be an absolute superstar.
Ready to add a little chaos, a lot of laughs, and a whole heap of love to your life? Stephen is your guy 🐾
