Racine’s DNA says it all: mostly American Staffordshire Terrier with plenty of German Shepherd and a bit of Pit Bull and Bulldog in the mix. She runs high on energy, sharp on wits, and has a protective streak. This is a dog that wants a job—whether it’s keeping an eye on her people or diving into whatever activity you throw at her. Her start wasn’t easy. Racine narrowly avoided being put down at nine months old when her first family decided not to train her. Thankfully, a vet intervened, saw her potential, and now after professional training, she’s prepared for a real home where someone understands her intensity and drive. She’s now leash savvy, loves to tag along in the car, and is up for anything active. She gets along well with other dogs and likes having canine friends to play with. Cats and small dogs? Too much stimulation—she’s not left alone with them in her foster and would do best in a home without either. The same goes for small kids. Her energy just isn’t a great match. She’s house and crate trained and used to a household where someone’s always around to let her out—she hasn’t had to hold it long. Racine is fully vetted, vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and on regular preventive meds. She’s ready for a home that wants an athletic, loyal partner with all the grit and go of her breeds.
