Gloria - American Staffordshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

One volunteer described Gloria as the definition of the perfect squishy pittie. At 58 pounds, she's a solid girl, but every ounce of her is full of joy. She has the kind of personality that makes you smile the second you meet her.

Gloria is playful, wiggly, and always ready for an adventure. She loves butt scratches, melts into the classic pittie lean, and will happily roll right into your lap for affection. She truly seems to love everyone she meets.

She also did wonderfully during her dog temperament tests. She was excited to meet the other dogs, but stayed friendly and was happy to match their energy. Shelter staff have described her as calm and well-behaved in her kennel, easy to leash, and a pleasure to take outside.
