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

"Moxie" is an apt name for this adoptable girl full of spark and spirit. Moxie is a playful, adoring dog with an infectious energy. She is short but thick, loves chew toys, and does everything with an extra dose of personality. She belongs with someone with a sense of humor; she's a funny, feel-good, one-eyed, wiggle-bummed gal. We pulled Moxie and her puppies from a shelter, and her puppies have all since been adopted. But Moxie--the original--is still waiting. Mama dogs are special! They love so hard, and Moxie is no exception. Moxie is crate-trained, housebroken, and knows a ton of commands. Adopt this one-eyes beauty by submitting an application today!

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.
