Description
Dog Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier (medium coat). Kaia: The Brilliant, People-Loving Athlete Kaia is an incredibly sweet, intelligent girl who arrived as a stray on March 4, 2025. She is heartworm negative and is ready to leave the stress of the shelter behind for a committed, active home where she can show off her amazing skills! A Star Student and Play Partner â¢Toy Genius: Kaia is exceptionally bright and highly toy-focused! She loves to play fetch and knows how to drop the ball and roll it back to her handler. She spent an entire outing focused on this fun game, showing she is happy and engaging with all people. â¢Wonderful Manners: She is cheery, joyful, and happy with people. She knows boundaries and is careful not to overstep a person, showing great respect and trainability. She rides well in the car and is ready for fun `snout and about` adventures. â¢Easy Handling: She is easy to leash and her leash walking is generally above average. When she pulls, it is manageable, and she walks smoothly to the yard. Kaia is a dog-selective girl whose personality and behavior completely change around other dogs in the shelter environment. She needs to be the only pet in her home to truly thrive: â¢Only-Pet Home Required: Kaia has serious impulse control and assertiveness issues around other dogs. She can be reactive when passing kennels and has been muzzled in playgroup due to unsteerable behavior and being overly forward. She will be happiest and safest in a single-dog household where she can focus all her affection and energy on her people. â¢Needs Routine: After a long stay at the shelter, Kaia is struggling with anxiety and urgently needs a stable routine and an owner who is ready to give her the daily mental and physical enrichment she craves. Kaia is an amazing dog who will be a loyal, playful, and brilliant companion for the right active person or family. If you're looking for an intelligent friend to be your star player, come meet Kaia!

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.
