Description
Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier. Troy is a 2-year-old fawn-colored American Staffordshire Terrier mix with a quiet spirit and the kind of soulful eyes that make you want to sit with him a while. Life hasn’t always shown him kindness, so Troy startles easily and asks for patience. If you move slowly and let him take the first step, you’ll see his walls come down—and then he’s pure putty in your hands: sweet, mushy, and completely endearing. He’s already showing so much progress. With calm reassurance, positive experiences, and the help of tasty treats, Troy is learning to trust. He’s walking nicely on a leash and working with volunteers every day to build his confidence. And here’s a fun secret: call him handsome and he’ll perk right up, as if he knows it’s true. Troy isn’t looking for perfection—just someone who will meet him with patience, kindness, and love. In return, he’ll give you his whole heart. If you are interested in meeting Troy, please complete an Interest Form. An adoption counselor will contact you to schedule an appointment.

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.
