Meet Stimpy Stimpy’s story is a heartbreaking reminder of how quickly a beloved pet can become forgotten. Stimpy and his companion, Ren, were found abandoned inside a Bronx apartment after the building’s former superintendent left and no one remained to care for them. By the time they were discovered by the new superintendent, they were in terrible condition. They were severely infested with fleas, and Stimpy was suffering from severely matted fur and a painful skin infection that had become so serious that maggots had developed. It’s difficult to imagine how long these two boys were left without anyone checking on them or knowing they were even there. Yet Stimpy has shown us that his difficult past does not define the dog he is today. He is deserving of comfort, kindness, and a family who will never let him feel forgotten again. We are so grateful that Stimpy is finally safe and has the opportunity to begin the life he should have always known. An adoption bio is only a snapshot of who an animal is. For more information about Stimpy, including his personality, needs, and what type of home may be the best fit, please reach out to our Adoptions Team. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in fostering or adopting? Need more info on this dog?

🧠 Temperament
Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog. What the foster or shelter observed day to day is far more predictive than any breed guess.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
