Steele believes in second chances… even when life keeps testing him.
This happy Husky mix arrived as a stray on May 13, 2026 with a microchip—but once again, no one came for him. And heartbreakingly, this isn’t his first time back. Steele was previously at the shelter in March 2025, likely adopted and hoping he had finally found his forever home… only to find himself here again.
Despite it all, Steele is still pure joy.
