American Staffordshire Terrier and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

MEET KESSIE! Kessie is a sweetheart who loves everyone. She greets everyone with kisses and love. Kessie is perfectly housetrained and is on the quieter side, though she has been known to do a very good whale impression when she is in the mood. She knows basic commands and just wants to snuggle on the couch all day with you. She does well left alone for a few hours at a time during the day and can roam free in the house without an issue. Kessie loves to please and loves the outdoors and playing in the snow! Kessie is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team. For more information on Kessie or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY. However, we will be unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements.

The American Staffordshire Terrier, also known as the Amstaff, is a medium sized, muscular breed known for its loyalty and courage. Developed in the United States, they are intelligent and affectionate dogs, making them great family companions. With a distinctive short coat and strong build, American Staffordshire Terriers are often misunderstood due to their past as fighting dogs, but they are actually loving and playful pets when raised in a nurturing environment. They thrive on human interaction and are eager to please their owners.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
