Binx, 1 years old, neutered male, Staffordshire Terrier mix, 70 pounds. He's located in a foster home in HOUSTON, TEXAS.

Binx showed up outside of his foster's house one day. They spotted him on the street and he easily came up to them. No owner came forward and he was not microchipped. His fosters think he was purposefully dumped, but lucky for him he wandered to the right people!

Binx is the perfect blend of playful goofball and affectionate cuddle bug. This handsome boy has a big personality, an even bigger heart, and a hilarious way of making everyone around him smile.

When it's playtime, Binx is all in! He loves chasing toys, playing tag with dog friends his size, and entertaining himself by tossing toys into the air and bucking around like a little horse. He especially loves interactive toys and anything that crinkles. Despite his playful side, Binx is wonderfully balanced and knows when it's time to settle down. After some fun and exercise, he's happiest curled up on the couch with his people, soaking up pets and giving kisses.

Binx is incredibly smart and eager to learn. He already knows his name, "sit," "shake," and "no," and he continues to pick up new things quickly. One of his favorite activities is being brushed he could happily sit for hours enjoying gentle attention. If you stop petting him too soon, don't be surprised if he places a paw on your arm as a polite reminder to keep going!

His foster family describes him as affectionate, playful, curious, silly, and incredibly loyal. He has some adorable quirks too. He thinks he's much smaller than he really is, often balancing along the back of the couch like a tightrope walker or climbing into laps for hugs. When he's excited, he makes the funniest face, tucking his lips into his teeth while wagging so hard his entire body wiggles.

Binx has built up a lot of confidence since being in this foster home Initially he was more hesitant/nervous around new people. We use a boarding for some of our dogs when their fosters go out of town. Binx has been there a few times. The first time his notes showed he was certainly nervous, but warmed up. This last time he went he couldn't get in the door fast enough to greet everyone!! All smiles and wiggles from this guy. He enjoyed playtime with other dogs in daycare too!

We expect him to be a little shy/nervous in a transition, but he has really grown in the last few months. It has taken him some time to feel comfortable in a crate and he has done fine when left out of a crate unsupervised. He walks really great on a leash and does well in the car.

We have no history with kids and recommend a home with children 10 years and older. We also have no history with cats. He has passed some on walks with no reaction, but he does not live in a home with a cat.

If you're searching for a dog who can make you laugh one minute and melt into your lap the next, Binx may be your perfect match.

Please note our process starts with an application. If we think you might be a good fit, we will reach out to coordinate a phone interview. This is followed by a video call with the foster home. Virtual home visit, personal and vet reference checks are required to complete the process. Transport is included in our adoption donation.
