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

Description

Dog Breed: Shepherd / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat). ***DFW area only-No Exceptions*** Mindy is a 5 months old (as of 5/3/26) possibly Shepherd/ American Staffordshire Terrier mix puppy. She was found stray, dirty and hungry and taken to a shelter. Her foster mom saw her laying scrawny, shut down and depressed in the shelter and felt compelled to bring her in to the Legacy Humane fold! Mindy loves to be cuddled, enjoys belly rubs, and loves the attention of her people. She was probably on the streets her whole life so, being in a home is new to her. She has made huge strides in her short time in foster care-going from a pup scared of everything to a happy go lucky puppy who seeks love and fun all day long. Puppies at this age will require patience and training to become the best pup they can be. She would love an owner who enjoys throwing toys for her and watching her silly scamper as she chases it. She will reward her owner with unfailing love: following you, laying at your feet and seeking pets. She makes the adorable grunting and sighing noises when settling in for a cuddle with her foster mom. Mindy adores squeaky toys, and her most prized possession is her rubber chicken. Mindy is working on potty training and, given a potty schedule, she does very well considering she just started learning this skill. Mindy would do best in a home with older children and no cats. She does well with the dogs in her foster home, often looking to them for cues on what to do in her new environment. She would not be apartment appropriate. Mindy is an amazing puppy who has been given a new lease on life and is thrilled with her good fortune.
