Fleck - American Staffordshire Terrier and Cattle Dog Dog for Adoption in Manhasset, New York

Hi! My name is Fleck, and apparently I'm up for adoption. Personally, I think this is great news because it means I get to find my very own family.

I'm a 3-4 month old puppy, about 22 pounds, with some pretty handsome markings, adorable freckled feet, and what my foster family calls "distinguished gentleman" looks. I try not to let it go to my head. P.S. Don't forget to zoom in on my freckled feet. They're kind of my best feature.

My hobbies include:
Collecting squeaky toys
Chewing on appropriate things
Riding in the car like a professional
Giving world-class cuddles
Following my humans around
Going on any adventure you have in mind! I can show you a video of my recent boat ride!

I've met teenagers and think they're pretty awesome. I would do good with kids with respectful dog manners. I did fantastic at the vet, and I've started learning leash walking. I've only been on a leash a couple of times, but I'm already showing lots of potential.

My energy level is about a 3-4 out of 10. I enjoy playing and having little bursts of puppy fun, but I'm actually a pretty chill guy overall. I know "sit" (most of the time), and am already such a rockstar in learning not to jump on guests.

I'd love another dog to play with, but it's not required. I'd be just as happy being your one-and-only as long as I get plenty of love, toys, and cuddle time.

I sleep quietly in my crate all night and settle down quickly when my humans leave the house. I'm doing really well with house training, use a doggy door, and only have the occasional puppy accident.

My perfect home will understand that I'm still a puppy and have a few things left to learn. In return, I promise to be your loyal sidekick, best snuggle buddy, and biggest fan. Think we might be a match? Reach out to Long Road Home Rescue (lrhrescue@gmail.com) for lots more info and photos of this adorable baby!

Puppies under 6 months of age should not be routinely left alone for a full workday. Fleck's adopter should have a plan for midday potty breaks, enrichment, and socialization if away from home for extended periods.
