Luther is a sweet, silly, 1-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix with a heart full of love and a personality that will keep you smiling. With his bouncy floppy ears and playful spirit, he's ready to find a forever home that will enjoy both his zoomies and his snuggles. He loves fetch and tug and will play with any toy he can find. A mile walk or 10 minutes of fetch is usually enough to help him settle nicely. While he would thrive in an active home, he also understands how to relax once his exercise needs are met. Luther seeks attention, loves pets, and will happily give plenty of kisses. He enjoys being close to his human and absolutely melts for belly scratches. When meeting strangers, he may act a little skittish at first, but he warms up quickly with gentle reassurance. His floppy ears bounce adorably on walks, and he hasn't quite figured out how long his legs are yet, which makes fetch extra entertaining!
Ideal Home
Luther would do well in many types of homes – apartment or house – as long as he receives regular exercise and continued guidance. A backyard would be a bonus for zoomies, but daily walks and playtime are just as great. He doesn't mind if he's the only dog or has canine siblings, but he'll always choose his humans first.
Ongoing Health
Luther is neutered and up to date on vaccinations.
Training & Support
Luther is house-trained and has not had any accidents since his first day in foster care. He sleeps in his crate and, while he may protest briefly at first, he settles within a few minutes. When left alone (up to two hours), he typically just naps. He isn't ready to be left loose in the house yet, as he's still learning what is and isn't a toy. On leash, he can be somewhat barky when seeing other dogs, but he walks beautifully side-by-side with a canine companion and this is something that can continue to improve with training.
