American Staffordshire Terrier and Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Sweet Kish is ready to find her forever family!

Kish is as sweet as they come! She absolutely loves playing with her siblings and the other dogs in her foster home. If it squeaks, it’s her favorite toy — and she’ll happily keep herself entertained chasing and tossing it around.

When she’s all done running and playing, Kish is the ultimate cuddle bug. You can usually find her curled up on the couch with the kids in her foster home, watching TV and soaking up all the love. She truly loves everyone she meets and has the happiest, most gentle spirit.

Kish and her littermates were picked up by our local Animal Control, and since that day, we’ve been committed to making sure they never have to wonder if they’re safe or loved again. Now all she needs is a family of her own — one that will give her the secure, loving forever home she so deeply deserves.

If you’re looking to add a sweet, playful, snuggly girl to your family, Kish may be your perfect match.

Foster & delivery Information — Please Read

We encourage adopters to read profiles fully and reach out with any questions — we are always happy to help. Inquiries through the site are not always coming through. If you send an inquiry and we do not answer, we didn't get it. You can use our direct email at atasnp@gmail.com or text/call 469-241-0000.

Upcoming Transport
Friday & Saturday — February 20th and 21st.
Please see pick-up locations below.

Important transport notes:
• We cannot do meet-and-greets. The trip is long and demanding, and it would not be safe or fair for a dog or puppy to travel north and then return to Texas.
• No deposits are accepted.
• All adoption fees are paid in person at pick-up.

Medical & Spay/Neuter Information:
Most puppies travel with two rounds of vaccines, and sometimes three. Occasionally, we may not have had a puppy long enough for a second round.

Puppies under 6–8 months of age are not spayed or neutered. Spaying or neutering is a required condition of adoption and must be completed by the puppy’s first birthday, at the adopter’s expense. Out-of-state surgery costs are not included in the adoption fee.

Breed Disclaimer:
Breed is our best estimate based on the puppy’s appearance and, when known, the mother’s appearance. Fathers are rarely known, and litters can have multiple fathers, meaning puppies may be half-siblings with different breed mixes.

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 Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature. Originally bred for bull baiting and later dog fighting, Pit Bulls today are beloved family pets cherished for their gentle temperament and playful personality. With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction. Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.
