American Staffordshire Terrier and Pointer Dogs Available for Adoption

Birdie unfortunately was dumped somewhere in WV and thankfully, a kind Samaritan kept her safe for two days until the warden was able to secure placement for her. The petite stunner will look even better -- if that's possible -- with a few extra pounds. Her brown ticking, freckling her white coat, might conjure up Pointer or Brittany in her breeding, but clearly she has that blocky noggin and stout bod that point to some bully breeds.

She is gentle and walks beautifully on a leash. Medium-size and from first impressions is probably around 2 years old. Currently Birdie is stressed out surrounded by all the new dogs, but once she adjusts in a few days, we will be better able to determine if she would be companionable with any other dogs.

You can visit the dogs from noon - 3 pm Saturdays and Sundays, otherwise by appointment. We always recommend submitting an application (and a copy of recent vet records for your current pets if applicable) to info@aradopt.org.

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 Pointer is a versatile and athletic dog breed known for its exceptional hunting skills and high energy levels. With a strong, sleek build and keen sense of smell, Pointers excel in bird hunting, especially in open fields. They are intelligent, eager to please, and make fantastic companions for active individuals or families who enjoy spending time outdoors. Their short coat requires minimal grooming, and their friendly nature and loyal temperament make them beloved members of the family.
