About Hallie

Hallie is about 3 years old and weighs around 72 lbs. She’s a sweet, high-energy American Staffordshire Terrier/Labrador Retriever mix with a short black and brindle coat. Hallie lights up when she’s got a squeaky toy or Nylabone and usually wants to play—especially with other dogs, though she prefers to stick with her own pack and can act dominant at times. Strangers and unfamiliar places make her anxious, and she’s battled a lot of fear; she takes medication daily for her anxiety and depends on a routine. She’s house trained and will let you know when she needs to go out—persistent but communicative. She’s also crate trained, though she’d rather avoid the crate if she had the choice. Hallie’s biggest challenge is her fear of the unknown, but she’s improved with patience. She’d thrive with a calm, committed adopter who can offer stability and continue her training. A dog sibling would probably help her confidence as she really enjoys canine company. Hallie does well with other dogs; her compatibility with cats and kids isn’t known. Separation anxiety means her adopter should be prepared for patience as she adjusts. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
