BEETLE (FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED!) - AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Meet Beetle! Beetle is a friendly, lovable Staffordshire Terrier mix who’s truly one of a kind. About 2 years old and weighing approximately 58 lbs, this handsome boy is neutered, house trained, and full of affection. Often described as “cat-like,” Beetle loves rubbing up against his people, sitting on you, and soaking up hugs. He’s extremely people-oriented and forms strong bonds with everyone he meets. If you’re looking for a dog who wants to be close and involved in daily life, Beetle is a perfect match. Beetle does well with other dogs and was previously housed with another dog, though they are not bonded. He would be happy as an only dog or with a new canine sibling. Because he is strong, a home with older children would be best. He enjoys bath time, would make a great hiking or adventure partner, and is still working on basic training. With structure, consistency, and love, Beetle will thrive. His owner couldn’t take care of him and Beetle is ready for the new forever home he deserves.
