About Arthur

Meet Arthur, a charming 5-year-old, 78-pound neutered Staffordshire Terrier/Retriever mix with a heart as big as his personality! Arthur is the perfect blend of an adventurous spirit and a loving companion, ready to bring joy to his forever home. He was found as a stray and brought to a local shelter, where his sweet nature quickly captured our hearts, and a foster home eagerly stepped in to help him find his perfect match.

Ideal Home

Arthur thrives in an active household that appreciates his enthusiastic nature. While he's done well with other dogs of various sizes and even curious about cats and pigs, proper introductions and supervision are always recommended. He has a history of interacting well with young children, but due to his size and excitement, a family with older children who can understand his energetic play style would be ideal, as he might accidentally knock over a very small child. He enjoys being part of family adventures and would do well in a home that includes him in their daily activities.

Ongoing Health

Arthur is a healthy boy who has been neutered.

Training & Support

Arthur is fully house-trained and crate-trained, happily settling into his crate for extended periods. He's a fantastic traveler and absolutely adores car rides – mentioning "car ride" will surely get his attention! While he may initially pull on the leash during walks, he quickly settles into a good routine. He's a smart boy who loves attention and is eager to please.
