WALLY - AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 450. Wally: Your Loyal, Goofy, and Loving Shadow Stop your search! You’ve found your best friend. Meet Wally, an all-black beauty ready to dedicate his life to loving you. Wally is a people dog through and through—he’s your loyal, long-lost shadow, and his favorite mission is to be right by your side. The Best Buddy Package: Elite Cuddler: Wally's passion is snuggling. Forget flashy toys or complicated tricks; just give him a soft blanket and a spot on the couch next to you, and you've made a best friend for life. A-Level Goofball: Get ready to laugh! Wally is famously derpy and silly in all the best ways. He brings a lighthearted, joyful energy to the home. He may never win an obedience award, but his quirky charm and unconditional love are all the reward you'll ever need. Social & Settled: Wally thrives on interaction. While he has bursts of energy, he is easily managed with a good long walk or some dedicated playtime. Once he's burned off some steam, he settles quickly, ready to transition seamlessly into relaxation and cuddle mode. Kid-Friendly Love: Wally adores people of all ages, including children! Because his enthusiasm can get the better of him when he's excited, a home with older, more dog-savvy kids would be the perfect fit. The Honest Details: Wally had a rough start, having been rescued as a puppy from a difficult situation. He has since been safe and well-cared for, but the stress of his early life and a long stay in animal control has meant he has some well-controlled mental health concerns. These are successfully managed with affordable daily medication and make him the wonderful, stable dog he is today. Wally needs a devoted, understanding family who knows that a commitment to a dog sometimes involves a little extra care. In return, he promises a lifetime of unconditional love, goofy antics, and the best cuddles you’ve ever had. Can you offer this deserving, resilient boy the fresh start and soft landing he’s been waiting for?
