My story

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

Meet Our Golden Senior Diesel. This handsome 12.5-year-old 56lb American Staffordshire Terrier is the perfect blend of cuddly companion and capable adventurer. While he loves nothing more than snuggling up on the couch, don’t let his age fool you — he’s still a strong, nimble hiker who can comfortably enjoy hour-long walks or hikes without any trouble.

What makes him special:

Extremely affectionate and cuddly

A confident walker who loves walks and hikes

Great with other dogs and absolutely adores kids (his enthusiastic nature makes him best suited for families with older children)

A bit of a refined palate — he knows what he likes!

Fully house-trained with no accidents

Comfortable overnight and can be left alone without issue

Well-mannered, loyal, and easy to live with

He offers the best of both worlds: an active partner for outdoor adventures and a calm, loving presence at home. Seniors like him are truly special — grateful, gentle, and full of love. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who still enjoys life to the fullest, this sweet AmStaff is ready to meet you! He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and will be available for adoption starting 12/21 through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL# 16182.
