CAINE - AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed. Adoption Fee: $350. Caine, a name meaning “son of the warrior…, exudes prosperity and courage.” True to his name this handsome boy has been a courageous fighter through his short difficult life. Caine was shot in the spine and left without medical care for some time. Caine was not expected to walk again but he has defied the odds by working hard down south to learn to walk again. Not only can he walk (with a bit of an odd gait), sometimes even trots for short periods of time! Caine does well on a leash however slow in general due to still recovering from his injuries. Caine’s painful past did not hurt his spirit though, he’s a happy Velcro dog who wants to be with his people—maybe even helping with the dishes if you let him . Caine is VERY food motivated, which will help while he’s learning basic commands and manners. He tends to try to get through doorways first (Bulldozer is one of his nicknames he’s received in his short time in PA) so he’s especially working on “sit” and “wait,” but he just wants to be by your side to save you from any crumb monsters that might be lurking! He does well in his crate after a short protest! (he can be a talker at times… such as meal time since you can’t get his food fast enough )but so far he’s also done well when left alone uncrated. Caine is also a heartworm survivor, and he is kid, cat, and dog tested and approved. With this hungry hungry Hippo even toys are not safe from his wrath, so he will need tough toys/bones that he can’t destroy or eat in his forever home. Caine is an approximate 55 lbs, 4 year old neutered mixed breed, and is UTD on preventatives. He is currently fostered in Dillsburg, PA PA Caring for K-9's PO Box 356 New Oxford PA 17350; LIC #9736 We are PA Caring for K-9's, an all-breed dog rescue that is solely run by volunteers.

We cannot adopt out dogs to a home with dogs that are not fixed or up to date on shots. If interested in adopting, please submit an application online at .pack9rescue. Our adoption fee for altered dogs is $350 and goes directly to saving the lives of more dogs.
