American Staffordshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Elburn, Illinois

Warning: meeting Nugget may result in immediate puppy obsession.

Nugget is a 9-week-old mixed breed puppy with the kind of face that makes people instantly fall in love. One look at those adorable eyes and sweet little expression, and it’s game over.

This little guy is full of kisses, cuddles, and nonstop puppy charm. He loves everyone he meets and is happiest when he’s soaking up attention or snuggled close to his people. Nugget may be tiny, but his personality is huge.

He’s already doing great for such a young pup — sleeping through the night with his sister in their pen and beginning potty training like a champ.

Nugget is ready to find a forever family that will help him grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. If you come meet him in person, don’t say we didn’t warn you… you probably won’t be leaving without him.

Our standard adoption fee is $465. We offer a $15 discount for adopters who pay by cash or check, making the adoption fee $450.

The adoption fee includes spay/neuter when age appropriate at one of our participating veterinarians, age-appropriate core vaccinations, fecal test, deworming, current on flea and tick preventative, and microchip.

To ensure the best match for both our dogs and adopters, we require a fully completed adoption application, a phone interview, and a meet-and-greet with the entire household. Applications will not be reviewed unless fully completed.

Submitting an application does not guarantee adoption and does not obligate you to adopt; it simply allows us to begin the review process.
