American Staffordshire Terrier and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Violet: Violet is a 5 month old (as of February 2026) Staffordshire terrier / lab mix (best guess) that weighs about 27 pounds. Violet and her sister, Tinkerbell, were found in someone's garage shivering and hungry and huddled together during a recent snowstorm in Memphis where the temperatures dipped into the single digits. A good human helped them out by feeding them and taking them to the city shelter where we learned of them and were able to get them into our rescue. Violet is being fostered in the south and would love to catch the next freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families! Violet was a little shy in the shelter but over the days of being in a home attentive to her needs she began to overcome her shyness. Violet likes to engage with her foster dad and she plays actively with the other dogs in the foster home. Violet's preferred day is to be able to lounge around close to her foster. Violet welcomes her foster dad at the door when he comes home and loves to sleep on the floor beside the bed at night. Violet is in a home with a doggie door and may need some patience while she continues to work on her house training. We would love for Violet to have a home with a fenced in yard for her to run and play freely. Violet is up to date on her puppy shots and spayed. If you are interested in adding this sweet girl into your life, please go to Charlie's Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.
