BEEZY - AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Meet Beezy…Look at this cutie!❤️ Beezy was rescued along with his mom and eight siblings, who were born at a shelter in Charlotte and taken in by one of our partner rescues. This wonderful group, which we work with regularly, vets moms and their babies before sending them up north to find loving homes. Beezy was the smallest of his siblings, and when it was time for the litter to get their vaccinations, he was still too tiny and had to be held back, missing his transport. They asked if we could take him in, and honestly, who could resist that gorgeous boy with the rich chocolate coat and striking blue eyes? Beezy is now about 16 weeks old and is settling into his local foster home. His mom was a pittie mix, but he’s clearly mixed with a smaller breed. At only 14-15 lbs, he is half the size of his siblings. He’s perfectly healthy, just petite, and we suspect he may have a different father from the rest of his pack. FUN FACT: Dogs from the same litter can have different fathers; it’s actually fairly common. If a female mates with more than one male during her fertile period, different males can fertilize different eggs. This means pups from the same litter can have different dads. What we know for sure about Beezy is that he’s sweet with his humans and loves being part of a pack. His foster mom has a pup sitting/boarding business, and he is getting exposure to lots of different dogs. He enjoys playtime outdoors and loves curling up in your lap for snuggles. He is crate trained and almost potty trained, but still needs consistent potty breaks. He's not fully trustworthy yet, but he's also still only 4 months old and doing very well. He's at that stage of development where he needs rules and boundaries, and he's getting them in his foster home. He’s very smart and trainable. He needs some work on his leash skills and basic obedience that all puppies need. Looking for an owner with some dog experience, preferably bully experience, who is ready for puppy mode for this adorably, snuggly boy. Apply today!
