Sunfyre (p) - American Staffordshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Meet Sunfyre
Sunfyre is one of five little dragons who came to us from a county shelter in Georgia after being dropped off in horrible conditions at just six weeks old. These babies were battling parvo, a deadly and relentless but preventable virus, and the shelter simply did not have the resources to provide the lifesaving medical care they needed.
Their lives were at risk, and we couldn't let them suffer.
Sunfyre is a little girl with a whole lot of life ahead of her. She deserves to grow up knowing what it feels like to be loved, protected, and part of a family who would never give up on her.
Her story began in a place no puppy should have to experience, but that is not where her story has to end. We want Sunfyre's future to be filled with puppy adventures, cozy naps, and the kind of love that makes a dog feel truly at home.
This little dragon has already overcome so much, and now she deserves the chance to simply enjoy being a puppy.
Please consider adopting Sunfyre. She has so much love and happiness ahead of her, and we hope she finds a family who will cherish every bit of it.
Please remember that adoption bios are only a snapshot of each animal. They are meant to give you a glimpse into their personality and story, but there is so much more to learn. Please reach out to our Adoption Team for additional information about Sunfyre and to learn if she may be the right fit for your home.

All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption.
