Description
Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier. Adoption Fee: 200. Rocky is ready to find a FOREVER home or even a foster. After being with a foster almost a month and only getting positive feed back I was contacted Friday evening stating he was acting possessive of his yard towards the 11 year old neighbor and they couldn't take any chances with him. So Saturday morning I picked him up. I've not seen any possessiveness over anything and we have people of all ages coming and going all the time as I have kids myself. In my honest opinion Rocky is pretty close to perfect. He is house trained, great with all dogs of all sizes, he even does well with cats, kennel trained, rides well in the car, doesn't jump, walks well on a leash, amd minds well. He makes 9 dogs at my house and although he is cared for he needs a FOREVER FAMILY. Where he gets all the love. .He is neutered, UTD on vaccines, on flea/tick prevention. He is heartworm positive (which isn't contagious) We have given him a proheart 12 which is a slow kill method of ridding the heartworms amd much easier on his 10 year old senior body. . Please consider fostering or adopting sweet Rocky. He really is the best. Please apply at .savedbygraceanimalrescue Rocky is currently in shreveport Louisiana but we do adopt out of state and transport can easily be arranged.

Overview:
The American Staffordshire Terrier, often affectionately called an "AmStaff," is a breed with a fascinating history, originating in 19th-century England and later refined in the United States. Physically, they are medium-sized, muscular, and agile dogs, known for their powerful build and distinctive wide smile. Their short, stiff coat comes in a variety of colors and patterns. In terms of temperament, AmStaffs are generally intelligent, confident, and highly loyal to their families. They possess a strong desire to please and can be quite affectionate. While they can make excellent family companions and often get along well with children, early socialization and consistent training are crucial due to their strength and inherent protective instincts. They are adaptable and can thrive in various living situations, including apartments, as long as they receive adequate daily exercise and mental stimulation. Health-wise, they are generally robust, but some individuals may be prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as certain heart conditions.
