Dex is a 1.5-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix with a heart full of loyalty and affection. He's an intelligent and intuitive young dog who thrives on being part of his family. Dex loves to play, especially tug-of-war and fetch, and he's a social butterfly with other dogs, always reading cues and backing off respectfully if another dog isn't interested in playing. He's a dream on leash, walking calmly and showing no reactivity to other dogs. Dex is eager to learn and enjoys having a job to do, making training a fun and rewarding experience. He's fully house and crate trained, sleeping soundly through the night and not showing any destructive behaviors when left out. Once he bonds with his people, Dex is incredibly loving and enjoys cuddling and showing his devotion.
Ideal Home
Dex would thrive in an adult-only home or with dog-savvy teens who understand boundaries. He is not suitable for a home with cats or small animals due to his strong prey drive. He would do best with adopters who enjoy walks, outdoor activities, and are committed to continuing his training.
Ongoing Health
