ARTHUR - STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER / BOXER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier / Boxer / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 125. Arthur loves treats and his people! He likes to trot around in the yard for a bit but he spends most of his time taking naps, he loves a quiet place and snuggling up with people. This sweet boy would love to find his fur-ever home where he can enjoy being a couch potato! Age: 15 Years Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier Weight: ~50 pounds Kid-Friendly: Considerate kids, yes. He likes a quiet and calm environment Dogs: He needs a little time to warm up to his new friends. He is currently being fostered with 2 Boston Terriers and although they are civil, he thinks they are too rambunctious. He just wants to sleep so if you have a K9 who also loves to sleep, they will be great friends! Cats: He is with a cat right now but the cat isn't around much so we can't say for sure how he is with them Crate Trained: Have not put him in a crate Potty Trained: Yes Health concerns/current medications: His back legs are not very strong but they seem to be getting better. He leaks urine but easily managed by belly bands and he is fine having them on. And having a lot of stairs will be an ongoing issue, I have a lot of stairs and its a struggle for Arthur. He has two very large fatty tumors on his belly area, but they dont seem to bother him and lots of little bumps, again, he doesnt seem bothered. He HATES taking his pills, so you have to hide them in food, I have been using butter bread and it has been working. Medications: Moe's Multi plus bites (multi vitamin) Cosequin (Glucosamine) 1x per day Carprofen 75mg - pain/inflamation Apoquel 16 mg 1x per day Surolan 15 ml - for ears 1x day Adoption fee: $125 As a rescue, we provide the care, procedures and testing that is available to us.

Grey Face Rescue does not adopt outside of Minnesota for now. We apologize for the inconvenience. We do not adopt animals to families whose current pets are not up-to-date on vaccinations or not altered.
