My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Johnny, an American Staffordshire Terrier mix picked up by one of our officers along with his brother Jasper on 3/25. Johnny weighs 52 pounds and is about 3 years old. This sweet boy has not quite acclimated to the shelter environment as he is nervous and uneasy. If you look into his eyes, you can almost imagine him saying "what am I doing here in this place?" He walks well on a leash. He knows the sit command, and will do so for treats which he takes politely. He does better outside his kennel than in and seemed to very much enjoy stretching his legs and scouting out all the sights, smells and sounds in the room in which his pictures were taken. We will spend additional time with him, helping him to feel more comfortable at the shelter and learn to trust the nice people who work and volunteer there. Can you please help Johnny out of the shelter and on the way to his forever home?
