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 weighing 55 pounds. He is house-trained and sleeps well in his crate, settling within a few minutes of protest. Luther shows no resource guarding and is comfortable around other dogs and toys. He loves playing fetch and tug, and while he enjoys an active lifestyle, he also knows how to relax once his exercise needs are met. He's affectionate and loves attention, melting for belly scratches and happy to give kisses. When meeting new people, he may be 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. Given his young age, if he will not be living with another dog, adopters should have a plan for continued socialization.
Ongoing Health
Luther is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Luther can be somewhat barky when seeing other dogs on leash, but he walks beautifully side-by-side with a canine companion, and this is something that can continue to improve with training. He is still learning confidence getting in and out of cars. He is not yet ready to be left loose in the house as he is still learning what is and isn't a toy.
