Luther is a sweet, silly, high-energy pup 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 is a 1-year-old, neutered male Staffordshire Terrier mix who weighs around 55 pounds. Luther is outgoing, curious, playful, smart, silly, and affectionate. He 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 warms up quickly with gentle reassurance.
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. If Luther is the only dog in the home, adopters will need to demonstrate how they plan to socialize him.
Ongoing Health
Luther is up-to-date on vaccinations and is microchipped.
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 settles within a few minutes after initially protesting briefly. He is not ready to be left loose in the house yet, as he's still learning what is and isn't a toy. Luther is somewhat barky when seeing other dogs on leash, but he walks beautifully side-by-side with a canine companion, and this can continue to improve with training. He shows no resource guarding over food or toys.
