About Champ

Champ is a charming six-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier/Boxer mix who hails from the delightful town of Port Edwards, WI. This pup radiates joy with his goofy antics wrapped in a creamy coat that just makes you want to snuggle up! At a solid 85 pounds, he’s the ultimate cuddle buddy, perfect for warming you up on those chilly nights or lazy Sunday afternoons while binge-watching your favorite series. 🛋️✨ But don't be fooled by his mellow demeanor! Champ has a medium energy level, and every now and then he surprises everyone with a joyous bout of zoomies that will have you giggling uncontrollably! While he may not be the most toy-crazy pooch, he has mastered the art of relaxation and can keep your spirits high with his hilarious little sounds after a drink from his water bowl. His caregivers wisely switched him to a raised bowl for a smooth drinking experience that continues to bring plenty of smiles! 😄🥤 Champ possesses remarkable training; thanks to his formal obedience classes, he is a polite buddy. He’s well-versed in the commands of sit, stay, lay, up, down, and crate, making him a well-mannered housemate. Champ is house-trained, neutered, and microchipped, which means he’s all set to join a new loving family! He’s perfectly fine being home alone for short periods and thrives on a loving routine that includes mornings at your side, crate time while you work, and cozy evenings in bed with you. 🌙❤️ While he loves people, it’s important to know that Champ prefers to be the only furry friend in the house. He’s not a fan of sharing his space with other dogs or cats, but he’ll be your faithful companion through it all! Now, here's a little disclaimer: Champ has had a few moments of nipping at unfamiliar faces entering his space. But fear not! With a calm environment and a sprinkle of patience, he blossoms into a lovable giant. He thrives on positive reinforcement and with a little care during new introductions, he’ll feel even more secure within his new surroundings. 🛡️ Champ is seeking a single person or a couple who dreams of having a dedicated companion by their side. Can you see him filling your home with love, laughter, and just a dash of his hilarious quirks? This sweet boy is ready to bring joy into your life, and he's even getting a full month of behavioral support from a consultant to ensure he settles in seamlessly. You’ll have all the tools you need to nurture this beauty’s spirit. 🎉✨ If you feel that special connection with Champ and want to show him the love he deserves, it’s time to apply to adopt him through the Buddy App! Remember, Champs's gonna stay with his current family until the perfect new home is found, so don’t wait too long! Your future best friend is just a swipe away in the Buddy App! 📲❤️
