Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Our pup Dilly has had the best possible upbringing that we could provide. He was born 8/4/22 at our Connecticut Rescue, just two weeks after we pulled his Mama, Bonita, from NYCACC. Bonita was pregnant when NYC Animal Control officers found her tied to a gate in Brooklyn. After five days, she was transferred to us for whelping.
Bonita was the ideal Mama, and her nine pups have thrived. The pups were weaned effortlessly, and have been well socialized since birth. At 13 weeks old, Dilly went off to his forever home to live happily ever after, or so we thought.
Unfortunately, the child in Dilly’s home developed allergies, so he returned to us. He is now over one year old and has grown into a strong, handsome boy. He is a gentle soul who is extremely affectionate, and loves to climb into his foster mom's lap.
Dilly is a large, strong boy at 50 pounds, and seems subdued at first meeting. He has a gentle, sweet vibe and loves all people and other dogs. He would be an excellent choice for a multiple dog home, with adult dogs willing to share the spotlight and mentor a tender age pup.
We have DNA tested the pups to be sure of breed mix, and learned they are 99% American Staffordshire Terrier, and 1% Border Collie. The Border Collie smarts definitely show up in Dilly. He has beautiful brindle Staffie coloring with distinctive white markings, and some big ol' Border Collie ears.
Dilly would be an excellent choice for a savvy Bully Breed adopter, willing to commit to ongoing training and socialization. Dilly has been born into ideal circumstances, and we seek an adopter willing to raise him as a Canine Good Citizen.
Dilly is in excellent health and has been neutered. He has received routine vaccinations and health screenings. If you are interested in Dilly, please write to Angelsfrgod@aol.com or call/text Denise at 860-908-9738 for more info.
