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

Meet Syrex
Syrex 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.
Syrex is a little boy who deserves a future filled with love, laughter, and a family who will always do right by him. He should be growing up surrounded by people who adore him, with plenty of time for puppy naps, playtime, and all the little adventures that make life so special.
His beginning was heartbreaking, but we believe his future can be beautiful. We want Syrex to know what it feels like to be safe, wanted, and loved every single day.
This little dragon has so much life ahead of him, and we hope he finds a family who will be there for all of it.
Please consider adopting Syrex. He deserves a loving home where he can grow, thrive, and finally enjoy the puppyhood he should have had from the start.
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 Syrex and to learn if he may be the right fit for your home.

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