American Staffordshire Terrier puppies and dogs in Placerville, California

Say hello to Chloe!Chloe came to us after being removed from a bad situation. Since then, she' been spayed, vaccinated, micro-chipped and is living large indoors and luvin it!! She adores all things soft - soft blankets, soft beds, soft laps. Since joining our foster's home back in May, Chloe has learned so many new things. She has learned that riding in a car isn't so bad if there's something good at the destination! She is completely crate-trained and house trained, and has learned to walk on a leash and go for adventures. She even went on a camping trip and was such a great camp dog, hanging out with her peeps in camp. Chloe loves to sunbathe and get belly rubs. She loves to cuddle on the couch and sleep in bed with her favorite humans. She enjoys meeting new people.During our last adoption event, she surprised everyone by showing what a social butterfly she is! She just wanted to meet all the people! Chloe is affectionate and gentle. She is patient and kind. She is curious and goofy. We feel that she would do well with well-mannered children, and she might even be okay with a canine companion.We have opened her world to so many new things, and she has taken everything in stride, confidently clearing all hurdles! She is ready to spread her wings in her new life with her forever family!Interested in meeting Chloe?

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Norah is approximately 7 months old. She came from the Stockton shelter where one of our RPNC volunteers first heard about her and started fostering her. Norah was a medical foster due to her having a prolapsed rectum. She's had two surgeries to repair her colon and after a long recovery period Norah is ready to find her forever home. Norah will need to stay on special food through her life and it will be important for her new family to understand her medical condition. There is a possibility that she will need to have another surgery by a specialist. However, her foster has been able to control her condition with diet and we are hopeful her new family will be able to do the same. Norah is a typical 6 month old puppy. She loves to play, play, play. She currently lives with 2 other dogs; a younger dog and an older dog. She does great with both. Plays with the younger dog and respects the older dog. She also lives with a cat, that she likes to chase. We think with boundaries and more training she could live with a dog savvy cat. She loves all peoples. She is house and crate trained but is still learning the command "go to bed" to go into her crate on command and she is still learning the basics such as sit. Altough Norah is your typical active puppy, she can also chill out and chew on a nyla bone for hours. Norah would be a fantastic addition to any family. She is one of those dogs that fits in with everyone.

*THIS IS A COURTESY POST… PLEASE EMAIL BAXTER’S FOSTER FAMILY DIRECTLY TO INQUIRE ABOUT ADOPTION: LetsAdoptBaxter@gmail.com* ***************************************** WHAT IS YOUR NAME? My name is Baxter.  Pleased to meet you! ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL? I’m a gentleman! HOW OLD ARE YOU? Good question.  Best guess, about 8 years old. WHAT BREED ARE YOU? • 52% American Staffordshire Terrier • 43% American Pit Bull Terrier • 3% Staffordshire Bull Terrier • 2% Boxer I picked the best traits from each one. HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? I’m about 60 pounds! WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I have eyes that will melt your heart.  My coat is tan and white.  I have the standard Staffordshire Terrier white blaze on my chest and white toes.   WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? Food, especially treats.  Actually, my humans only feed me kibble and I get a treat now and then.  They don’t share their human food with me so that I never beg when they are eating. WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? I define mellow.  I can be playful and like to chase my little foster brother pup.  I love being near my humans as much as possible. I was taught to ring a bell when I want to go outside.  I got so good at ringing it that, for some reason, the bell has disappeared.  So now I simply stand quietly in front of the back door knowing someone will let me out to go check out everything and lay in the sun. DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY. I am a morning dog.  When asked politely I will go back to bed until someone gets up to let me out and then promptly give me breakfast.  Once fed, it is siesta time until the morning 1.25 mile walk around the block we take if the weather permits. The rest of my day is filled with naps, going out to see if the neighbor’s dog is out, and naps. I like to alert my humans with a song when it is dinner time. Dinner is followed by putting my head on my human’s knee to get lots of loving scratches.   WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I love my chicken! I will carry it around whenever I am excited. DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? Someone, long ago, really cared about me and taught me to sit and stay (somewhat) and to not jump up on people or the furniture. When I am excited when my humans come home, I will dance around, dying to jump but know I should not. I am excitable but I aim to please! WHAT SCARES YOU? I’m scared of someone punishing me for something I’ve done. It seems this has happened to me in the past. If I hear a human yell I will slink around on the floor not knowing what I did wrong. My current humans are very loving and reassure me I am now safe. I do get anxious when left alone. I will pace around with my chicken in my mouth, sometimes bark a little, but eventually settle down. I am a little hard of hearing, so storms and fireworks do not bother me. HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? I have not had the pleasure of meeting children. I’m sure I would love them, but I might need to be watched because I am not a small guy and could knock them over by simply running into them. DO YOU LIKE CATS? I have seen cats on walks and sometimes through the window in my backyard. They seem interesting but not enough to give them more than a second look. I have not met them face-to-face yet, so I hold out judgment on that question! HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I love hanging out with my little foster brother pup. He is not big with sharing toys, but I just let him take the toy from my mouth and carry on.  I have met other dogs and they have all seemed fine with me. They smell nice! IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD IT BE? Right next to my human. I’m very loyal and lovable, so wherever they are sounds good to me! HOW’S YOUR HEALTH? I am feeling much better, thanks for asking.  I was not in the best of shape when my current humans found me wandering the street.  I had whipworm and heartworm.  My humans helped me get rid of both, and I now have energy and am ready to meet each day with a smile!  Getting up there in age, my humans give me a joint supplement each day and that does wonders.  I have a fatty lump on my chest.  During my first vet visit my vet said I was just a lumpy dog. I took it as a compliment. WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH? I live with a couple of super great humans that took me into their home from the street, just like my 22-pound rescued little brother pup.  We all get along great!  They are sweet people but they don’t have a yard for me to run and play in.  Their backyard is all rock and pavement, except for that big swimming pool.  That is why I love the morning walks where I can walk on everyone’s front lawn and feel the soft grass between my toes. WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? I hang out fairly close to the front door, anxiously waiting for my human’s return.  I will bark a little sometimes.  I try to be good, because I know they are watching me on a camera they set up.   WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? I have a very comfy bed all to myself.  I can snore to my heart’s delight! It is also great for when I feel like stretching. DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? Yes, I love walks!  I have a halter with a front clasp that helps to keep me from tugging to get to that next special scent along the walk.  A couple of slight tugs lets me know I might be pulling, so I slow down and behave like a gentleman.   DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? I have a tendency to lick my paws.  I have been told it might just be anxiety.  When I do it, someone will let me know with a loud “Ah!” or a snapping of their fingers.  I then look up at them and give my “Oh, ok, I’ll stop” look.  I also have a habit of thinking anything on the floor is fair game to be considered a toy when I am left alone.  Apparently, the big pillow that I had such a great time gutting was not a toy.  That is the only time that happened, honest.   ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? Definitely!  I had a couple accidents when I first moved in because I did not know how to tell everyone I had to go. They hung a bell at the back door that I ring when I want to go out. DO YOU LIKE WATER? There is a swimming pool in my backyard.  It is of no interest to me.  My humans sometimes give me a nice warm shower in their walk-in shower. I put up with it. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? They seem to really love me.  That is all I want --love and attention.  I go with them for rides in the car and am, as always, a perfect gentleman.  Except my little brother says I take up a lot of his space. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER? I can remember being with someone before that seemed to care about me because they taught me right from wrong when I was younger.  Something happened that caused me to become quite thin and sick and living on the streets.  All I want is to be loved and to hopefully be in a home with a backyard and, of course, good food and treats!  I know there is someone out there looking for a companion just like me.  Please help me find them. **BAXTER’S ADOPTION FEE IS $100** If you would like to meet Baxter or have additional questions about this sweet boy, please email his foster parents directly at LetsAdoptBaxter@gmail.com.

Zeus is an awesome guard dog and is mostly an indoor dog. He is house trained and tolerates a crate as well. I was going to surrender Zeus to a shelter but they said they would put him down because he has growled at a child and me. I don’t think he should die, so I’m trying to find a good fit for him. He prefers all male company human and dogs.He has growled at myself and at my daughter but never my son and he has even hit and kicked him (he’s only a toddler and no we didn’t allow the behavior to continue).He has food aggression and needs to eat separate from all animals. He gets along with cats if they are indoor, but if it’s a random outside cat he will more than likely try to harm it. He attacks female dogs but tolerates annoying male dogs. He’s a great guard dog and hasn’t bit anyone but I can’t risk my child’s life.I really don’t want to put him down. His rabies shot just expired. He has had all his vaccines until this year.He never pees or poops when walking on a leash.

Our daughter has relocated and unable to take her dogs with her because of her rental situation. Cleo is 5 years old and a loving and protective girl, loves kisses, hugs, playing, lots of pets and cuddling time. She also loves to chew on rubber bones and stuffed animal dog toys. She went through a traumatic experience, needs extra love, affection and a new home where she will be patiently loved with compassion.She is on a good schedule of being fed in the morning and mid-afternoon, crate trained.

Zeus He has been loved for 8 years. The housing arrangement does not allow me to keep him any longer. He is a good boy, great with kids. Not really a fan of small animals, but does ok with bigger breeds. He had his own backyard all this time. Zeus is not aggressive to people. He deserves someone who has time to spend with him and he enjoys being outside.
