Shady - American Staffordshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Shady is a wonderful, low-key 4-year-old-pup who is just as happy curled up by your side as she is relaxing independently in her bed or soaking up some sun outside. She's a natural cuddler who loves being close to her humans, but she's also flexible: ready to play when you are and equally content to just chill, matching your energy either way. She is a model dog who is quiet as a mouse indoors making her an ideal apartment dog.

Shady is also making great progress with other dogs and is fine on the street with them, but for now should be the only pup in the house. And because she is so playful, kids 12 and up would be best as she might knock younger kids over as she tried to give kisses. At 45 pounds, she is the perfect size -- not too big, not too small and ideal for snuggling. Inquire about this special gal today!
