Sonny Chance - American Staffordshire Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog Available for Adoption in Saugus, Massachusetts

Sonny Chance has fought hard for a second chance. Now all he needs is a family to give him the happy ending he's waited so long for.

This sweet boy was confiscated from an unimaginable situation after enduring severe neglect & despite everything he's been through, he continues to show the world nothing but kindness.

Introducing Sonny Chance--

At intake, he weighed only 31 pounds and had a body condition score of 3/9, clearly showing the effects of long-term malnourishment. Yet the shelter staff described him as calm, friendly, cooperative & easy to handle. Even while starving, Sonny greeted everyone with a loose, wiggly body and gentle manners.

Today, He is thriving and has been doing amazing in his foster home. He is a sweet, affectionate boy who crates well, walks nicely on leash, is dog friendly, and is very food motivated.

This is the kind of dog who makes you believe in resilience. He survived cruelty and neglect, but he never lost his loving spirit.

Now healthy and happy, he is ready to find the loving family he has always deserved.

2 years old, 47 lbs Am Staff mix

The American Staffordshire Terrier, also known as the Amstaff, is a medium sized, muscular breed known for its loyalty and courage. Developed in the United States, they are intelligent and affectionate dogs, making them great family companions. With a distinctive short coat and strong build, American Staffordshire Terriers are often misunderstood due to their past as fighting dogs, but they are actually loving and playful pets when raised in a nurturing environment. They thrive on human interaction and are eager to please their owners.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
