Riddick was posted on the BARC euth list in Houston TX. I immediately started seeing how we can save him and thankfully with the help of MANY, we had him safe with only 2 hours left before euthanasia.

Riddick went to a local foster in Texas who has other dogs and he got along with them nicely. When foster mom wasn't home he has her room to himself and he would often be found lounging around.

He loves car rides and will watch out the window. Great around kiddos and loves walks (he is a puller so does best with a no pull type harness).

He has shown he has disliked a few dogs but ignored others. This may be an isolated situation.

He has not made a peep, easy going guy with a heart the size of his huge head. He is full of love

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.

CCRT is committed to saving the lives of hound breeds at risk of euthanasia. We also take great pride into...
