Meet Arthur! Arthur is a 5-year-old, 78-pound neutered Staffordshire Terrier/Retriever mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This handsome boy is the perfect combination of playful adventure buddy and affectionate cuddle companion. He was found roaming around a park and brought to a shelter before coming to his foster home in Houston, TEXAS. Arthur loves life and approaches every day with enthusiasm. He's a moderate energy guy who enjoys playtime, exploring, and spending time with his people. He's curious and interested in cats and pot-bellied pigs but has never shown aggression, and has done well around a young child. While he doesn't jump on people, his size and excitement could accidentally knock over a small child during play. Arthur is fully house-trained and crate-trained, settles nicely in his crate, and has comfortably stayed crated for longer periods. He rides beautifully in the car and absolutely LOVES car rides! Arthur is outgoing, playful, curious, affectionate, and incredibly sweet. He enjoys toys, loves spending time with his people, and is always happy to soak up attention and affection. He thinks if he can fit, he can sit! Arthur may pull at first on a walk, but settles into the routine and does well.
