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

Kiley has been at the shelter for more than a month, and her behavior notes have remained remarkably consistent throughout her stay. Staff describe her again and again as a calm, friendly and gentle girl with soft eyes and a wagging tail.

Kiley walks gently on a loose leash, takes treats nicely, has remained quiet in her kennel and pays little attention to other dogs while passing them. She has been friendly with volunteers and visitors and was even trusted to go on a walk with a family. After more than a month in the shelter, her most recent notes still describe the same soft, wagging girl who quietly accepts affection and treats
