Description
Dog Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Hi, I'm Benson, and I am 7 years old! I am a sweet, friendly guy that is shy to warm up at first, but I am a big lover when you get to know me! I am a good mannered and well trained dog that is housetrained and good with calmer dogs and older children. I lived with a dachshund in my home I was surrendered from, but I was really, really shy of the young kids there, so I did not make a good fit. I have a shy personality, and I have had a past that brings some trauma. I will flinch if you raise your hand or make loud noises. Our staff here was doing a regular dog shelter intake, and I flinched at every turn, and when the stapler was set back on the table, I dropped to the ground like I had personally been struck... So I have some past trauma that I will need a patient and accepting family to let me learn how to love again. When I warm up to you, I want nothing more than to curl up in your lap and to be loved. While toys do not really interest me, I do like food! I walk well on a leash and I know how to sit, stay, down and come! I am ready to find my furever family... Please come visit me!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!

Breed overview
Staffordshire Bull Terrier
A.K.A.: Stafford, Staffy, English Staffy, Staffie, Nanny Dog
Overview:
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier, affectionately known as a "Staffy," is a robust and agile breed originating from 19th-century England, bred for its strength and courage. Physically, they are compact and muscular, with a broad head, pronounced cheek muscles, and a short, smooth coat that comes in various colors. Despite their powerful appearance, Staffies are renowned for their affectionate and gentle nature, particularly towards children, earning them the nickname "nanny dog." They are intelligent, highly trainable, and thrive on human companionship, making them excellent family pets. Their relatively small size and moderate exercise needs mean they can adapt well to apartment living, provided they receive daily walks and mental stimulation. Generally a healthy breed, they can be prone to certain conditions like L-2-Hydroxyglutaric Aciduria (L2HGA), hereditary cataracts, and patellar luxation, so responsible breeding practices are crucial. With proper socialization and training, a Staffy will be a loyal, devoted, and entertaining companion.
