Forest - American Staffordshire Terrier and Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Sparta, Wisconsin

Meet Forest! Forest is approximately 3 years old and is thought to be an American Pit Bull Terrier/American Staffordshire Terrier-type mix who is looking for a place to call home!

Forest is a sweet and sensitive boy who will absolutely absorb the love around him. He absolutely adores children, and does well with cats and most dogs (overly-dominant or pushy dogs might be too much for him) but he carries a calm and friendly demeanor and definitely isn't looking for confrontation.

Forest is house broken and knows basic commands, but he would love to learn more. Working on training can also help to solidify the bond with his new family! Right now he's showing a medium energy level, meaning he enjoys playing fetch, going for walks, and would likely love a jog or a hiking adventure with his new owners, but doesn't seem to be hyper. He's also going to make a fantastic snuggle buddy!

We're still learning more about Forest as we go, but so far he's an absolute love bug who would fit in with almost any family! We are doing all meet n' greets BY APPOINTMENT ONLY after an adoption application has been generally approved:
