Pops | ~7 y/o Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Beagle Mix | World-Class Snuggler
Pops is a 48-pound bundle of sweetness who’s equal parts hiking buddy and cuddle champion. Around the house, he’s calm and easygoing, perfectly content to snooze at your feet or curl up under the covers at bedtime, where he’ll happily burrow into pillows and blankets. When it’s adventure time, Pops comes alive—he has the stamina for long hikes, energetic runs, and spirited play sessions, and he thrives with about 1–2 hours of activity each day.
This boy is almost fully house-trained and excellent about letting you know when it’s time to go outside—he’ll whine, nudge, or wait patiently by the door. Pops knows a few commands like “sit,” “down,” and “wait,” and he’s working on leash manners. Walks can be stressful for him at times, especially when other dogs, people, or wheeled objects pass by, so his adopter should be prepared to continue his training and provide consistent structure. With patience and guidance, Pops has great potential to become a relaxed, confident walking companion.
Pops adores other dogs, especially in off-leash settings, and he’s happiest when making new friends at the dog park. He sometimes barks—whether from excitement or anxiety—but has never shown aggression. At home, he’s quiet, affectionate, and a loyal shadow who loves to be near his person. He’s also a fan of toys, bones, car rides, and peanut butter-stuffed Kongs.
The ideal home for Pops will be active and structured, with someone who enjoys outdoor adventures as much as he does. Because of his strength and occasional reactivity, an adopter experienced with handling bigger dogs would be best. Pops hasn’t been tested with cats or children, but he seems open and friendly to all people he meets. With his affectionate nature, playful spirit, and snuggle-loving heart, Pops is ready to be both your adventure partner and your bedtime companion.
If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.
The adoption fee for this pet is $375. Our adoption fee covers the following:
Spay/neuter
Microchip
DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption.
