Description
Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier. Meet Bishop! Bishop is a 3-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier who has been charming us at the shelter since he arrived — and the more we learn about him, the more we adore him. This handsome black-and-white boy has put on some healthy weight and now sits at a solid 50 pounds. He’s not just filling out physically — his personality has been shining brighter every day. Bishop already knows basic commands and has a natural desire to please, making him a wonderful candidate for continued training. He’s eager to learn, eager to connect, and always ready to show off his good manners. One thing Bishop absolutely excels at? Cuddling. Whether he’s leaning in for affection or settling in beside you (or right on your lap), he soaks up love like it’s his favorite pastime. He’s also shown strong signs of being housetrained during multiple volunteer sleepovers, where he’s been an excellent guest. And of course, we can’t forget his adorable webbed paws — we’re still curious whether they hint at a love for swimming! Bishop is a sweet, affectionate, people-loving dog who’s ready to bring joy into a home of his own. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to love and be loved, Bishop just might be your perfect match. If you are interested in meeting Bishop, please complete an Interest Form. An adoption counselor will contact you to schedule an appointment.

Overview:
The American Staffordshire Terrier, often affectionately called an "AmStaff," is a breed with a fascinating history, originating in 19th-century England and later refined in the United States. Physically, they are medium-sized, muscular, and agile dogs, known for their powerful build and distinctive wide smile. Their short, stiff coat comes in a variety of colors and patterns. In terms of temperament, AmStaffs are generally intelligent, confident, and highly loyal to their families. They possess a strong desire to please and can be quite affectionate. While they can make excellent family companions and often get along well with children, early socialization and consistent training are crucial due to their strength and inherent protective instincts. They are adaptable and can thrive in various living situations, including apartments, as long as they receive adequate daily exercise and mental stimulation. Health-wise, they are generally robust, but some individuals may be prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as certain heart conditions.
