Pit Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Troy, Michigan

Meet Björk — a happy, high-energy sweetheart with the cutest little ears and the most adorable underbite! This friendly girl loves being around people and gets along well with other dogs, always greeting everyone with excitement and a wagging tail. She’s outgoing, affectionate, and happiest when she’s included in the fun.

Björk is potty trained, crate trained, and sleeps cuddled up in bed with her person at night. She does well when left alone, especially with another dog for company, and she stays calm in her crate. She doesn’t show signs of separation anxiety and is generally very independent while still being loving and social.

She has a high energy level and would thrive in an active home that can keep her both mentally and physically engaged. Björk loves walks, playing in the yard, and chewing on her favorite toys. She would make a great hiking or running companion once she works on her leash manners.

Right now, she’s very strong on leash and tends to pull hard, especially when she gets excited around people or other dogs. She knows commands like sit, shake, and down, and she’s a smart girl who enjoys learning. She’s very friendly with strangers—sometimes a little jumpy because she’s just so excited to say hello! She has shown no aggression with people or dogs and has no resource guarding issues.

Björk has met a cat and did fine up close, though she may try to chase if she spots one from a distance, so slow introductions and supervision would be important. She can be a little mischievous if left loose and may chew on blankets or other household items she can reach, so having appropriate chew toys and structure will help her succeed.
