Portobello - American Staffordshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in Oakland, California

• Hi, I'm Portobello, a 3-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix with a thoughtful approach to making new friends.
• I can be a little shy when meeting new people, so I'm not the type to rush into a relationship-and honestly, I prefer not to be touched right away.
• When I'm given space, choice, and a chance to get comfortable at my own pace, I show my social and friendly side.
• I enjoy spending time with people, especially when toys are involved! Throw a toy for me, and we'll be fast friends.
• I've also been known to do some pretty adorable wiggles and rolls on the ground to scratch those hard-to-reach spots. Primary Color: Blue Brindle Secondary Color: White Weight: 64.3lbs Age: 3yrs 0mths 3wks Animal has been Neutered
