IVY - URGENT - AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat). The dogs Arcadia Animal Rescue saves are mainly located in southern states, such as NC, SC, TN and TX. We can transport to most states, through partner networks. Virtual meet n greets can be arranged for all non-local adopters. Meet Ivy! She is an approximately 3 year old, spayed female Staffordshire Terrier mix, recently surrendered to our rescue because her owner couldn’t afford the lifesaving surgery she needed. After spending a week in the hospital trying to recover, one of the technicians that worked with her was gracious enough to foster for us. She has since gained 16 pounds since leaving the hospital and has really started to shine! Go Ivy! Her foster reports that she is an incredibly loving dog, always wanting to be cuddled and in your lap; she is one to follow you around the home, even if you only move 5 inches to the left - in other words a Velcro pup!. Ivy is always willing to hold a conversation with you and is very outspoken about her opinions on the matter, telling you exactly what she thinks. She loves balls and will very happily play by herself if she has one, but her absolute favorite activity is car rides and is willing to go anywhere with you. She would be great for a family with children, or another young dog to run around and play with to burn off excess energy. She’s a very gentle dog but doesn’t always know how strong she can be, so can get a little carried away bouncing and running about. Therefore, may benefit from continued training with manners. However, if she realizes the plan for the day is “couch potato”, she is completely content to cuddle up beside you and sleep the day away. If you could open your heart and home for this softy, please contact Shannon on 919 442 7720 ASAP.

If the pet you applied for is no longer available, .arcadiarescue/adopt to see all of our available pets. Note: Some pups are in boarding facilities in order to save their lives. This is far from ideal, they really need to be in loving homes. Due to record number owner surrenders this year, we have zero foster homes available. Fostering helps save another pup from euthanasia in an overcrowded kill shelter needing to free up a kennel. If you can foster, go to .arcadiarescue/foster and fill out a foster application. Thank you!
