TWIX - AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER / FRENCH BULLDOG / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier / French Bulldog / Mixed (short coat). Meet Twix. This handsome Bully boy was found tied to a pole as a very young pup. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan saw him, took him in, and ensured he found his way to rescue. Twix has proven to be a vibrant, sweet, and smart boy, and we are thrilled to help him find his forever home. Twix is currently living with seasoned fosters, Laura and Brian, along with their resident dog, Buddy. Before arriving in the DC metro area, he lived happily in a home with four other dogs. He’s been an easy introduction to every dog he’s met and truly loves being part of a pack. Playful and social, Twix thrives in an active environment and especially enjoys rough-and-tumble play. He’ll do best in a home with a dog his size or larger who matches his energy and play style. FOSTER MOM UPDATE Laura shared, “Twix is doing great! He settled in quickly, and we love having his fun and loving personality around. He has done a good job acclimating to Buddy, and I think he’s best paired with a medium energy-level dog that would play with him throughout the day. Buddy plays but only when he wants to, so Twix doesn't mind lounging around. He does a good job keeping himself occupied with toys, and I have no problem working from home every day. He settles down well. Twix is a very sweet boy who loves his belly rubs, playing chase, and tug-of-war is his favorite game. He does great at meeting new people and will talk to you from time to time. It’s the cutest thing.” ******* Twix has shown himself to be adaptable and eager to learn. He’s housetrained, crate-trained, and has started mastering basic commands. He rides well in the car and is a social boy who enjoys meeting new people and other dogs. He has decent leash skills and has been through some training to improve his leash skills. Twix is very treat-motivated and learns quickly. We believe that Twix will do best in an active home. He’d thrive with a family who appreciates his fun and goofy personality and is committed to giving him the structure and love he deserves. While he loves the company of other dogs, Twix would also be happy as the center of attention in a single dog home, provided he has plenty of interaction and activity. This lovable boy has so much to offer and is ready to bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love to his new family. If you’re looking for a loyal, active, and playful companion, Twix might just be the perfect fit for you. Apply today! BREED ESTIMATE: American Staffordshire/Bulldog/Bully Mix = Super cute!
