Description
Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier. Hello, hello! My name is Angel and my name matches my personality! I am the sweetest girl ever, and I am adored by volunteers! I enjoy playing ball but I'm mostly just a relaxed girly that really enjoys a soft couch to snooze on. I came into the shelter as a stray, but my owners had put me on a rehoming site so staff was able to snag a little bit of information about me. My owners stated that I am housetrained, good with cats as I lived with three of them, good with kids and that I also lived with another dog. They did not mention why I needed to be rehomed. While I am a friendly girl to my people, staff hasn't gotten me to enjoy the company of other dogs yet, but maybe they just haven't found the right dog to pair me with! I do well surrounded by other dogs (I have been to adoption events successfully), but once they push past my boundaries, I can get a little upset. What can I say, I like my space! You'll see in my photos that I was at a healthy weight... but I am really struggling here in the shelter environment. The constant stress and loud noises makes me go a little crazy in my cage and I jump and jump and jump, and I have lost quite a bit of weight. Staff feeds me more than any other dog here, but I am burning those calories trying to figure out how to get out... While my weight loss could easily be caused by stress and my tummy not agreeing with donated food, staff will be performing a fecal sample (in the works as of June 4th) to see if there is anything else going on that could be causing some of my weight issues. But really, I am a sweetheart that can't wait to find a home of my own where I can lounge around and sleep.Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at infoawlwarsaw if you have any questions about me! If not, stop by the shelter at 1048 S 325 E in Pierceton, IN 46562 to look at me! No appointments necessary!

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.
