Description
Dog Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier (medium coat). MJ is an 8-month-old playful young dog whoâs looking for a fresh start. She was surrendered due to concerns around young children and food guarding, so sheâs best suited for an adult-only home or one with older, respectful teens. MJ has also shown prey drive toward chickens and cats, so a home without small animals would be ideal. Despite her challenges, MJ has so much to offerâsheâs crate trained, loves fetch and toys, and enjoys playing with other dogs. With structure, patience, and consistent guidance from an experienced handler, MJ will continue to grow into the wonderful companion sheâs meant to be.

Breed overview
Staffordshire Bull Terrier
A.K.A.: Stafford, Staffy, English Staffy, Staffie, Nanny Dog
Overview:
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier, affectionately known as a "Staffy," is a robust and agile breed originating from 19th-century England, bred for its strength and courage. Physically, they are compact and muscular, with a broad head, pronounced cheek muscles, and a short, smooth coat that comes in various colors. Despite their powerful appearance, Staffies are renowned for their affectionate and gentle nature, particularly towards children, earning them the nickname "nanny dog." They are intelligent, highly trainable, and thrive on human companionship, making them excellent family pets. Their relatively small size and moderate exercise needs mean they can adapt well to apartment living, provided they receive daily walks and mental stimulation. Generally a healthy breed, they can be prone to certain conditions like L-2-Hydroxyglutaric Aciduria (L2HGA), hereditary cataracts, and patellar luxation, so responsible breeding practices are crucial. With proper socialization and training, a Staffy will be a loyal, devoted, and entertaining companion.
