Meet Houston, the delightful 3-year-old American Staffy with a heart of gold, eagerly awaiting his forever family. Houston`s playful nature and squishy cheeks make him impossible to resist, and he`s always up for a game of fetch or a romp in the park. Despite being just a tad shy, his sweetness and cuddly demeanor shine through, making him an instant favorite among those lucky enough to meet him. He has met some other dogs and was polite, so bring your pups in to see if they`re fast friends. He is best suited for slightly older children. He can be a bit of a talker and not be a great fit for apartments/condos. If you`re searching for a loyal companion who`s equal parts playful and affectionate, Houston is ready to shower you with love and snuggles for years to come.
What I Need In a Home: * Older children recommended * May not be a good fit for apartments/condos
*I am a restricted breed in Denver. If you are a Denver resident, you must also purchase a Breed-Restricted Permit for $30.
