German Shepherd Dog and American Staffordshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Hi! I’m Crystal — a little sparkle of a puppy with a big heart and an even bigger love for life. My journey didn’t start out easy. My two brothers and I ended up at the county shelter after our owner left us behind, labeled as “unwanted and too much trouble.” But I was saved for a reason, and now I’m ready to shine in a forever home of my own.

I’m still just a baby, which means I’m full of playful energy, curiosity, and lots of love. I adore playing, snuggling, and doing all the silly puppy things that are guaranteed to make you laugh. Belly rubs? Yes, please. Cuddles? Absolutely. Puppy kisses? I have plenty to give.

I love playing with my foster siblings and making new friends with everyone I meet — people included! My foster family tells me all the time how pretty and special I am, and I’m doing my very best to learn and be a good girl.

If you’re looking for a sweet, joyful puppy who will fill your days with love, laughter, and sparkle, I just might be your Crystal

Foster & delivery Information — Please Read
Upcoming Travel dates;
Friday & Saturday — February 6th and 7th..

This dog is fostered with one of our rescue families in Texas and is available to travel north on our scheduled trips, which run at least twice each month.

Due to recent technical changes on this site that began in early December, dogs fostered outside an adopter’s immediate area may not appear unless filters are adjusted. We encourage adopters to read profiles fully and reach out with any questions — we are always happy to help. Inquiries through the site are not always coming through. If you send an inquiry and we do not answer, we didn't get it. You can use our direct email at atasnp@gmail.com or text/call 469-241-0000.

Upcoming Travel dates;
Friday & Saturday — February 6th and 7th.
Please see pick-up locations below.

Important transport notes:
• We cannot do meet-and-greets. The trip is long and demanding, and it would not be safe or fair for a dog or puppy to travel north and then return to Texas.
• No deposits are accepted.
• All adoption fees are paid in person at pick-up.

Medical & Spay/Neuter Information:
Most puppies travel with two rounds of vaccines, and sometimes three. Occasionally, we may not have had a puppy long enough for a second round.

Puppies under 6–8 months of age are not spayed or neutered. Spaying or neutering is a required condition of adoption and must be completed by the puppy’s first birthday, at the adopter’s expense. Out-of-state surgery costs are not included in the adoption fee.

Breed Disclaimer:
Breed is our best estimate based on the puppy’s appearance and, when known, the mother’s appearance. Fathers are rarely known, and litters can have multiple fathers, meaning puppies may be half-siblings with different breed mixes.
