American Staffordshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in New York, New York

Zeuski was a family pet living happily with 4 children, a small dog and a cat and was absolutely wonderful with all of them – playful, friendly and outgoing. He was also great with strangers. Then the family became homeless and Zeuski ended up being surrendered to the New York Animal Care Center - The New York Municipal Shelter.

At the shelter he was of course nervous and struggled to acclimate to shelter living. His time was coming to an end and he needed a savior.

A wonderful woman came to his rescue and saved him from euthanasia. He's been in foster with her since December 2025.

He is now ready to find his forever home.
