Description
Dog Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier (medium coat). MJ came to the shelter as an owner surrender on 10/22 and has shown herself to be a fun, engaging, and energetic dog who would thrive in the right home. She does well in the car, walks nicely on leash, and has been completely non-reactive to other dogs passing by. MJ enjoys meeting new people, happily accepts treats and pets, and has even done well being dressed up in costumes, taking it all in stride. She is crate trained, playful, and loves toys and games like fetch. MJ plays well with other dogs and has a high-energy, sometimes slightly obnoxious play style that reflects her enthusiasm more than anything else. She would do best in a home with older kids, an active lifestyle, and no cats and chickens, where she can burn off energy, get consistent interaction, and continue to shine as the happy, social dog she is.

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.
