American Staffordshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Jersey City, New Jersey

Aurelia is a 2-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier looking for her furrever home!

Aurelia might just be one of the sweetest dogs you’ll meet, gentle when there’s not much to do, but always happy to match your energy! Even if she’s laying down all cozy in her bed, her tail starts wagging the second she hears someone coming, and she’ll lift her head up to make sure she can get some scratches behind the ear. She knows not to play too rough since she’s a larger dog, so she’s perfect as a friend to smaller dogs or as a companion for younger children. She can be a bit withdrawn around strangers, but she’s always curious, and never shies away from a chance to make a new friend! Aurelia would be a perfect dog for just about anyone, the last piece for any kind of home!

If you are interested in adopting Aurelia, please go to jcnj.org/adopt to submit an application, or call us at 201-547-5700 during business hours for more information.
