Description
Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier / Terrier (short coat). Adoption Fee: $400. Online Adoption Application › Joy aka Pearl came to her foster home with her two tiny puppies after being in the shelter where she started shutting down. She was a new mom (& still a puppy herself) who was sad and scared of just about everything. Her puppies have since been weaned and she is slowly coming to understand what it feels like to live in a safe place and feel loved. She has come a long way in her 2 months and now loves being brushed, going outside and chasing the ball (hasn’t quite figured out that she can bring it back yet), playing with toys and watching her fish friends on tv. She is the perfect house guest as she only needs to go outside twice a day and does her business almost immediately. She will make her human(s) her whole world, but needs lots of patience and kindness as she continues to come out of her shell. She would do well being an only dog or with an older, calm dog who can show her the ropes. You can learn more about Pearl & her little family diariesofafosterdog. ********************************************************** The adoption fee is $400, which covers vetting, microchip and the spay/neuter surgery performed by a rescue-affiliated vet. All dogs receive a wellness visit and are up to date on shots appropriate for age. Breed and size is Pawfect Match Rescue's best guess and not guaranteed.

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.
