My story

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

Meet Vegas, a two year old Staffie mix weighing 55 pounds.

Vegas was found running around with Los before being brought in to us. Vegas is a friendly, playful boy with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging! This affectionate pup adores attention and will happily soak up all the snuggles you have to offer, especially belly-rubs. He`s currently working on his manners—especially the `off` command—but with a little consistency (and a few treats!), he`s a fast learner. Vegas is super treat-motivated, which makes training a fun and easy bonding experience.

This outgoing boy would thrive in a home where he gets plenty of love, playtime, and positive reinforcement. If you`re looking for a loyal, loving companion who’s eager to please, Vegas might just be your perfect match.

Vegas is ready for his forever home—could it be yours?
