HARPER - AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed. Harper is a 2–3-year-old and weighing about 48 pounds. She’s a sweet, affectionate girl who absolutely adores people and is always up for a cuddle or some playtime in the yard. Harper has truly been through the wringer. After undergoing MTL surgery on both knees and preparing to travel to Massachusetts to meet her new family, she tested positive for heartworm and had to remain with her amazing Texas foster. Now, after completing her treatment, Harper is finally ready to travel — and no one deserves a loving home more than this girl. She’s fully housetrained and does great in a crate. Harper loves to stay busy around the house and can get into a little mischief if she’s bored, so she’ll thrive in an active home. She enjoys the company of other dogs of all sizes, though slow introductions work best. Ideally, she’d love a playmate with a similar energy level to roughhouse with. Harper adores kids of all ages, loves meeting new people, and walks nicely on a leash. She’s high-energy but also a total cuddlebug when it’s time to relax. More than anything, she’d love a family that includes her in all their adventures. This special girl is ready for a forever home where she’ll be loved, included, and spoiled like she deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal, joyful companion to keep you smiling, Harper might just be your perfect match! This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered.

Breeds listed are educated guesses made by shelter staff, volunteers, or veterinarians. Many of our dogs are mixed breeds, often with pit bull-type genetics, resulting in a wide variety of physical traits and temperaments. Our dogs come from various situations, such as kill shelters, owner surrenders, or as strays. It is likely both parents were mixed breeds as well. Sandy Paws Rescue does not have a public shelter in Massachusetts. Our dogs reside in private foster homes or boarding kennels in the South until adopted. Many dogs are spoken for prior to transport or release from state-mandated isolation. For information on adoption fees, procedures, or FAQs, visit our website: .sandypawsrescue.
