Luther is a sweet, silly, high-energy 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. Luther is neutered, weighs 55 pounds, and is currently in a foster home in Houston, Texas.
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 in good health and has no known conditions to be aware of.
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. Given his young age and preference for human interaction, if he is the only dog in the home, his adopters will need to provide a plan for socialization.
