SHADOW - Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Shadow is a 2-year-old spayed Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix with soft gray and white fur and the most expressive ears you’ll ever see. She’s fully grown and strong — the perfect age past the puppy chaos but still young, playful, and full of life. Shadow already knows her basic commands like sit, stay, and come, and she’s eager to continue learning. She’s smart, attentive, and thrives when she has guidance and consistency. She enjoys structured walks and would do great with a family who likes getting outside and staying active. If you are interested in adopting email BARCfoster@houstontx.gov today!
