German Shepherd Dog American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, 3 yrs
Manhattan, IL

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Theo is extremely smart and active. He really needs an owner that is experienced with the working line dog breeds. We did a DNA test on him and these two breeds were highest percentage. In training, he has done very well. Before the GSD came in his DNA test, we would describe his disposition as more Malinois. If you love that working line dog, he would excel in agility and scentwork. He loves to train and do drill work. Theo would do very well in a home with a confident female dog. He plays and follows the lead of a female dog in his training program. Seems to push back more with a male dog playmate. No cats at this time, but he is getting worked around cats to "leave it" . Any questions you have, please message us or fill out an application on our website www.promiserescue.org

Story
Meet the Encanto Litter — our magical new Draft Picks! This beautiful little family came to Ruff Draft from one of our trusted rescue partners in Texas, after they were found under an abandoned house in San Antonio. They may have had a rough start, but they are safe now and we’re so excited to introduce them to their future forever teams. Mama Julieta is about 1.5 years old and believed to be a Carolina Dog mix. She is the absolute sweetest, housebroken and crate trained already. She arrived in rescue with eight puppies — five of them made their way to Ruff Draft and officially joined our roster as Draft Picks. The puppies were born 12/9/25 and include three girls (Isabella, Mirabel, and Pepa) and two boys (Antonio and Felix). Each pup has their own unique look — Pepa is especially striking with bold black-and-tan coloring, Isabella, Mirabel, and Felix sport classic shepherd-style coloring (with varying levels of fluff), and Antonio stands out with his beautiful white tricolor coat and resemblance to mom. We suspect there may be some shepherd in the mix, though they also look surprisingly similar to Chinook puppies though that's not as common of a breed. What we do know for sure: this whole crew is Game Day Ready. They’re super playful, active, social pups who are doing great with kids, cats, and other dogs. Whether you’re looking for a young teammate or a sweet mama ready for her own happily-ever-after, this family is ready to start their next chapter. Breed & Size Disclaimer: We make our best guess on breed based on coat type, size, muzzle shape, and other physical traits, but breed mix, adult size, and weight cannot be guaranteed. We always welcome friendly suggestions if you think something may be inaccurate!

Story
Meet Juno, a five-month-old Shepherd/Mastiff mix with a gentle heart and a growing confidence. Juno came to our facility alongside her siblings after their owner moved and was unable to bring them along. Having had limited socialization, the group needed extra time to adjust to their new surroundings — and Juno has been steadily coming out of her shell ever since. When Juno arrived, she was treated for a large abscess on her neck, likely the result of some roughhousing with her siblings. With antibiotics, attentive wound care, and plenty of TLC, she has been healing well and continues to make great progress. Juno enjoys spending quiet time with staff and volunteers and is especially comforted by the presence of other dogs. She truly blossoms when she has a canine companion nearby and would benefit greatly from a home with another dog to help boost her confidence and show her the ropes of being a beloved Pet. Juno is ready to continue her journey in a patient, loving home that will support her as she grows into the wonderful companion she’s meant to be. As Juno is still working on first time experiences and becoming comfortable with new settings, she is looking for a home without younger children (10+). Her adoption fee is $200, which includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, current flea prevention, registered microchip, and spay. She is already fixed! Call our office for adoption details at 815-725-0333. Located in Joliet, IL.
