American Staffordshire Terrier and Boxer Dogs Available for Adoption

Franklin is a lovable little guy born on 1/28/26, a charming mix of American Staffordshire Terrier and Boxer who will be ready to join his forever family on March 25th at 8 weeks old.

This playful pup is full of curiosity, he loves pouncing on toys and giving sweet puppy kisses to anyone nearby. Like all puppies, Franklin will need a patient family who can guide him through house manners, potty training, and basic commands while keeping up with his zoomies, playful antics, and occasional nibbles. Early socialization with people, other dogs, and new experiences will help him grow into the confident, happy pup he’s meant to be.

Franklin is expected to grow into a loyal, affectionate, and energetic dog around 50–60 pounds, blending the best traits of his breeds: the loving, devoted nature of an American Staffordshire Terrier and the goofy, fun-loving personality of a Boxer.

He’ll thrive in an active home with daily walks, playtime, and mental challenges, but he’s just as ready to curl up for snuggles with his favorite people. Franklin is a clever little learner, a heart-melting snuggler, and a future best friend who is ready to fill his forever home with laughter, joy, and endless puppy charm!
