American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, Senior
Richmond, VA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
At 9 years old, Artie has figured out what he likes in life: good snacks, a little fun and being as close to his people as possible.<br/><br/>Dont let his age fool you. Artie still has plenty of playful energy and loves long walks, yard zoomies and games that put his nose to work. Hes especially enthusiastic when food is involved. Puzzle feeders, scattered treats or a snack-searching game are all right up his alley.<br/><br/>But Artie knows how to relax, too. In his foster home, he was perfectly happy entertaining himself with a toy or settling nearby for a nap while his person worked. And when it was time for bed, Artie was ready to curl up right beside them for the night. Hes an affectionate guy who seems happiest simply being wherever you are.<br/><br/>Artie needs a cat-free home and is ready to find someone who appreciates his playful spirit, snuggly side and love of simply being together.<br/><br/>Artie is part of our Patient Paws sponsorship, which means you can name your own adoption fee. Come meet Artie and see if he might be the companion youve been looking for.
