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 a park with other dogs and brought to a county shelter before a foster opened their home to him. 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 has successfully interacted with dogs of different sizes and recognizes when a playmate is ready for a break. Arthur has also been around cats and pot-bellied pigs, showing curiosity but no aggression. He has spent time around a young child and done well. Arthur is fully house-trained and crate-trained, settling nicely in his crate for longer periods. He rides beautifully in the car and absolutely LOVES car rides! Personality-wise, Arthur is outgoing, playful, curious, affectionate, and incredibly sweet. He enjoys toys, spending time with his people, and soaking up attention. 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.
Ideal Home
Arthur's ideal home is one that can provide regular exercise, structure, and plenty of opportunities to be part of the family. He would thrive with people who enjoy including their dog in everyday adventures. Due to his size and excitement, a family that understands his energetic nature and can provide appropriate outlets for his enthusiasm would be best, as he could accidentally knock over a small child during play.
