American Staffordshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Athena is a 1.5-year-old, 55 lb bundle of love who is equal parts cuddle bug and adventure buddy! This sweet girl absolutely adores her people and is happiest when she’s close by—whether that’s snuggled up on the couch or riding shotgun on a car ride.

Athena loves her dog toys (the squeakier the better!) and enjoys spending time outdoors soaking up the sunshine. She would thrive with an active family who enjoys walks, playtime, and including their pup in daily life. She’s always ready for the next adventure!

She is dog friendly and enjoys playing with other dogs, but she tends to play on the rough-and-tumble side. Because of that, she would do best with dogs her size or larger who can match her energy and play style. She’s higher energy and can sometimes be a bit much for little ones, so she would do best in a home with older kids.

Athena has been around cats and has done fine at times, but she can also chase them, so a cat-free home would be best for her long-term success.

The best part? She is both crate trained and potty trained, making her an easy addition to the right home!

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, playful companion who will cuddle hard and play hard, Athena might just be your girl

*Disclaimer: Athena is currently located in Texas and can be adopted either locally or out of state. We coordinate everything with our ground transport teams to ensure they arrive to the adopter safely and we keep the adopter in the loop every step of the way. Transport costs are included in the adoption fees. We also have our fosters video chat with potential adopters prior to adoption so that the adopter gets to see the animals and ensure it’s a fit. We allow adoption fees to be paid via goods and services if desired to give our adopters extra security and protection.
