Description
Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier (short coat). Lisa is with our rescue partner in Louisiana is available to come to NJ if we find a foster or adopter. Meet Lisa – the Life-Loving Goofball Who Got a Second Chance ❤️ Lisa’s story almost ended far too soon… but thanks to a foster stepping up in the nick of time, she’s now safe, loved, and ready for her real happily ever after. This girl is incredibly dog friendly – she thrives with furry friends and loves the company of a confident canine buddy who can help show her the ropes. She may be a bit too excited and bouncy for very young children, but older kids are definitely her jam! Lisa has already mastered many home skills: ✨ 100% potty trained ✨ Crate trained (she may whine a bit at first but settles quickly) ✨ Walks on a leash — just needs a strong handler because she’s enthusiastic! She LOVES toys and treats and is always ready for fun. But she also carries some fear from her past… anything long — like sticks or long objects — sends her into a nervous retreat, so we suspect she may have been mistreated before coming to us. We want the rest of her life to be full of love, patience, and kindness. This sweet survivor is looking for a family who will embrace her goofy joy, help her keep growing in confidence, and give her the secure home she deserves. If your home has: A dog buddy ‍‍‍ Older kiddos A heart big enough to love a once-broken girl …Lisa just might be your perfect match. Are you ready to help her write her happy ending? Send in an adoption application today! Lisa is fixed, micro-chipped and up to date on vaccines. Her adoption donation is $500. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home.

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.
