Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Shrek is a very handsome, well-mannered, friendly, playful and loving, 16-month-old, 45-pound, male, fawn and white American Staffordshire Terrier looking for a loving guardian. Found as a stray in Chicago, Shrek is a pure gentleman on leash and good with other dogs. His tail is always happily wagging; sits on command and takes treats very gently from your fingers. He loves playing fetch and likes to see how many tennis balls he can cram into his mouth at once. He is also snugly and will roll over for belly rubs.
Shrek is healthy, neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped and heartworm-tested. His adoption fee of $200 benefits rescued dogs. To meet and possibly foster or adopt him, contact Melia at melia88@comcast.net or 708-224-1900. He is currently kenneled in West Chicago, Illinois and would love to have a home to call his own.
