Description
Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier (short coat). Adoption Fee: 150. Hey! I’m Sasha, a sweet girl looking for a home. I was adopted from the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center (PRC) in 2019 as a 1-year-old but mysteriously found as a stray in August 2025. Things were looking bleak for me at PRC, but I was rescued on September 21st by Rebels Rescue! I was so happy to be out of the shelter. My freedom ride driver talked nice to me and within a few minutes of getting in the car, I was giving him kisses and letting him rub my belly. I didn't have a foster home to go to, so I have been staying at a dog resort. I have been a good girl at the resort and, even though I can be wary of new folks, I like the staff here and have a good time playing with them and getting pets. I really do like people, so if you give me space and go slow and talk nice to me, I will warm up to you quickly. I love to play, give kisses, and have my belly rubbed. I’m not sure how I’d feel about other pets in the house…we would have to see how I react. If you are looking for a sweet older girl, I would really love to come live with you! Please complete an adoption application on the Rebels Rescue website if you’d like to meet me.

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.
