Description
Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier (short coat). Lucy, also known as Big Mama, is a 5–7-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix with a whole lot of love to give. Originally adopted from a shelter in New Mexico, Lucy later found her way to California as a stray. While we don’t have much history on her, one thing is clear—Lucy is a super sweet girl who is ready for a fresh start. Lucy is hoping to find a loving home that will help her get on a healthy track, including shedding a few extra pounds with gentle exercise and care. She can be selective with her dog friends, likely due to being attacked by another dog when she was young, and would truly thrive as the center of someone’s world. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who just wants to be loved, Lucy may be your perfect match.

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.
