After nearly two years living at the GSPCA, there’s been a happy ending to one dog’s ‘tail’ as he has found his forever home.
Senior Welfare and Animal Care Assistant, Seb Goman said Stewie had been on a journey during his time with the charity before being matched with his new family.
“This week, the Shelter bid a heartfelt farewell to Stewie, a special dog who had been in our care for one year and seven months. When Stewie first arrived, he was very wary of strangers, but with time, patience, and the dedication of our staff, he made incredible progress.
“During his stay, Stewie was fostered by our wonderful foster carers, Cameron and Becky, who provided him with a loving home environment and invaluable feedback on his progress.
“Their support played a key role in helping Stewie gain confidence and prepare for his forever home. Now, Stewie has finally found his perfect match!”
Stewie moved in with his new owners earlier this week.
“His new family has already enrolled him in training classes to support his ongoing development, showing their commitment to giving him the best life possible,” said Seb.
“We couldn’t be happier for Stewie and his new family, and we wish them all a lifetime of love, happiness, and adventure together!”
The animal charity says it is rare for dogs to be looking for homes for any prolonged length of time, but GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne added that occasionally some dogs do face a challenge in finding their forever home.
“Most dogs now are rehomed through our home to home service but when those needing to come in for rehoming do mostly they are in and out extremely quickly.
“Occasionally there are dogs that arrive that need a little more time and Stewie has been one of those.
“Stewie, a cross breed at just under two years old, had to come into our care as his owner was moving and couldn’t take him with them and was in our foster care for exactly 600 days, but the team are overjoyed he is now in his forever home.”

The animal charity helps more than 200 stray and lost dogs every year, and hundreds more are booked in to its care for boarding. The charity also attends around 100 dogs a year for possible welfare concerns or for advice, and 100’s more pets attend for training classes. That’s on top of the charity’s microchip services.
