American Staffordshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Bowie, Maryland

Oreo is incredibly affectionate and loves being around people. She’s social, friendly, and thrives on human attention. With other dogs, she takes a bit of time to feel comfortable, but once she warms up, her curiosity turns into playful fun!

She has a low-to-medium energy level—she enjoys walks and being active, but she tires out pretty quickly and then she’s ready to settle in for a snuggle and to binge your favorite Netflix show with you. She absolutely loves playing with water from the hose, which is sure to keep everyone entertained! She does great in her crate and is generally quiet… unless she hears a treat bag crinkling—then she’s got some opinions to share 😂

She would do well with older children, and she’s warmed-up to the cats in her foster home. We all just love Oreo. She’s a special girl, and we know someone is going to be very blessed to have her as a new family member soon.
