Description
Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier (medium coat). Hello! My name is CHONKY! Through no fault of my own, I am looking for a THIRD chance at my FURR-ever home. I have a wonderful family that my foster found for me in the winter of 2024, but due to some very difficult circumstances, they made the hard decision for me to find a home that can give me the love and attention they know I deserve. They kept their promise to me and reached out to my original foster which means a lot because that guy saved my life. Iâll miss my family and best friend RaeRae the cat, but I know this is for the best. Thatâs where you come in! My full name is CHONKY MCCHONKERTON III ESQ! I am a 5 year old chocolate and cream male staffy mix weighing approximately 80lbs. Iâve been chipped and fixed by ACS and current on my shots. Iâm a big olâ square headed chonky doggy who is super social and affectionate. I was found in October of 2023 running down the center line in traffic on West Ave. When my future foster spotted me he pulled over and I just jumped right in his truck. Its was like a rescue Uber. He got me cleaned up and healthy and we spent the next few months putting on weight, getting my fur thick and learning my commands so I could be the best CHONKSTER anyone could ever meet. I am a medium to low energy dog whose favorite hobby is lounging, scratches and napping. I do enjoy meandering walks, but donât need to go out for a hike or a super long walk. I am crate trained and house trained. I know how to sit, shake with both hands and will stay. Iâm pretty good on the leash, but I donâ like the horses downtown and for some reason the homeless (possible bad experience). I am a FOODIE and am motivated by food and treats and anything you are eating, but I have manners and will not eat until you tell me I can. I am not a fan of pools and water. Iâll tolerate baths, but man you will know I am not happy as I grumble about it and pout. I would do great in a single dog home or with an experienced owner and a very calm large breed dog who will be patient with me the first couple of weeks as I learn the routine. Iâm polite to strangers and children, but Iâm a little clumsy so bigger kids older than 10 would be a good idea. My best friend in the world is my cat roommate RaeRae, but I am skeptical around all other cats. I love chasing them and scaring them. So, if you already have a cat, I may be a hard pass. I love sunning myself, getting belly rubs, lying on the sofa with the family watching marathons of Law and Order or Game of Thrones, and just following you around the house. Iâm very good on truck rides, I just hop right in, and as copilot and am an attentive listener so you can just pour your heart out. If you are having a weepy day and just want to share an ice cream while watching RomComs, Iâm pretty good at that too. So, if you have a chonky square headed hole in your heart, Iâm the doggo for you! Contact the good people at ACS and my foster and I can meet you at ACS or anywhere around the city for a meet and greet!

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.
