Dex is a 1.5-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix who is smart, loyal, and affectionate. He bonds deeply with his people and is playful, intuitive, and happiest when he feels included and secure. Dex loves to play, especially tug of war and catch, and he gets along well with dogs of all sizes. He is respectful and thoughtful in his interactions, backing off if another dog isn't interested in playing. Dex walks calmly on a leash without pulling and shows no reactivity towards other dogs. He is intelligent, eager to learn, and enjoys having structure and a job to do. Dex is fully house-trained and crate-trained, sleeping quietly through the night. He can also be left out in the house without destructive behaviors once his energy needs are met. Dex is incredibly loving and affectionate with his people, enjoying cuddles and showing his loyalty once bonded.
Ideal Home
Dex would thrive in a home with adult adopters who enjoy walks and outdoor time. He is not suitable for a home with cats or small animals due to a strong prey drive. He would do best in an adult-only home or with dog-savvy teens who understand boundaries, as he may growl when unsure around children.

No specific health conditions were mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
