💗 Meet Sugar Ray — The Snuggly, Tennis-Ball-Loving Sweetheart!
Sugar Ray is a 3-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier with a heart every bit as big as her smile. Originally an outreach case who needed rescue, she is now thriving in foster care and showing just how loving, goofy, and gentle she can be.
This big, beautiful girl is all about affection and connection. She loves to cuddle, nap beside you, and soak up every bit of love she can get. If you’re looking for a mellow companion who also enjoys bursts of play, Sugar Ray just might be your perfect match!
🌟 Sugar Ray’s Best Qualities
• A+ snuggler — her favorite place is right next to her people
• Total nap queen — calm, quiet, and relaxed in the home
• Toy lover — especially obsessed with tennis balls!
• Crate trained — settles in calmly when you’re away
• Good with dogs & cats — per previous owner; foster is still doing slow intros
• Great with children — gentle, though her size may be a bit much for toddlers
• Well-behaved when left alone
At about 85 lbs, Sugar Ray is a solid, strong girl with a soft, mushy heart. Her size means she may unintentionally knock down very small children, but she is a kind and gentle soul who truly loves people.
💕 Personality Snapshot
Sugar Ray can get a little excited when new guests arrive, but she settles quickly and just wants to be included. She does wonderfully with routine, clear expectations, and a cozy place to rest. She also experiences some anxiety, but with reassurance and a predictable environment, she thrives.
🏡 Sugar Ray Would Love a Home With:
✔ Someone who enjoys snuggles and quiet companionship
✔ A family or adopter who can handle a strong, 85-lb sweetheart
✔ Slow, thoughtful introductions to resident pets
✔ Plenty of tennis balls!
Sugar Ray is the perfect mix of sweetness and silliness — a loyal companion who just wants to adore her humans and be adored right back.
If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion with so much affection to give, Sugar Ray is ready to brighten your home and heart. She's also eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can take some time to get to know her in your home before finalizing the adoption. It’s a great way to ensure the perfect fit! 💗🐾
