Miracle - American Staffordshire Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Meet Miracle, a boy named after his miraculous rescue journey. Miracle was once a stray on the streets of Georgia who ran onto a busy highway and got hit back-to-back by two cars! But this magical boy survived and traveled all the way to New York on his hero's journey to a brighter future. Now, Miracle finds sanctuary at our Adoption Center in Queens, while he waits for a home. He is working hard on his leash-walking skills, basic commands, and impressing us all with just how clever and eager to learn he is. Miracle is about 70 pounds, lives for squeaky toys, cuddling, and peering out the window to watch the world go by. He is house-trained, medium-energy, and LOVES people. He is so eager and appreciative of any and all affection and attention; all he wants to do is cuddle and be loved on. He's been selective with his doggy mates, preferring some more than others. But with humans, Miracle has never met a stranger; he thinks everyone is his best friend.

If there was ever a dog who deserved a happily ever after, it's Miracle. Apply today to learn more about Miracle and how you can take him home.

The American Staffordshire Terrier, also known as the Amstaff, is a medium sized, muscular breed known for its loyalty and courage. Developed in the United States, they are intelligent and affectionate dogs, making them great family companions. With a distinctive short coat and strong build, American Staffordshire Terriers are often misunderstood due to their past as fighting dogs, but they are actually loving and playful pets when raised in a nurturing environment. They thrive on human interaction and are eager to please their owners.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
