ZEUS D6027 - STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 425. Zeus is a young, 50-lb American Staffordshire Terrier mix with an approximate birthdate of May 2021, and a beautiful, brown brindle coat with a white chest and paws. Zeus has a submissive and curious temperament with a medium energy level. He’s a great combination of smart, loyal and eager to please, always looking for a leader, be it human or canine. He’s completely house-trained. Because Zeus has been recovering from heartworm treatment and is on an exercise restriction, he hasn’t had a lot of canine socialization but he is not aggressive. He gets very excited to meet other dogs and hasn’t quite figured out how to play with some of them but he will do well in a home with an assertive dog that enjoys energetic play. He’s spent some time around older kids (10-15) who are “dog aware.” He's a wicked cuddler...always wanting to be touching whoever is closest. Zeus is not kennel trained. When left alone at home WITH the house dog for up to eight hours he just naps. Leaving him completely alone may require some work. We’ve tried and he will bark and whine but he hasn’t been destructive. Zeus would be best in a home without cats. His limited exposure and prey drive would be difficult to manage. When walking on-leash he ‘heels’ and looks at but doesn't react too much to other dogs so long as his leader is leading. Zeus gets very excited when new people enter his home and he has a tendency to jump if not controlled. He’s getting better but this will require a calm leader when the environment gets animated. Zeus is a GREAT dog. He’s thriving with the household routine and he’ll do well in an semi-active home with a clear set of rules and boundaries. He’s young and somebody is going to enjoy a great life with this dog. Interested in adopting this lovable animal? Please go to our website .wagsmn and fill out an Adoption Application.
