This senior, neutered male American Bulldog/American Staffordshire Terrier mix has a black and white short coat and is currently in the care of Mercy Sakes 2nd Chance Dogs. He is fully vaccinated, house trained, and enjoys the companionship of other dogs, as well as cats and older children. Dice no longer battles heartworms or cancer and thrives best in a quiet home environment with other friendly dogs and a secure fence.

About Dice

Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you. Dice, previously known as Devo, endured a challenging life after being abandoned and left to fend for himself in Tulsa, Oklahoma since 2021. Once considered intimidating due to his size, Dice's fear and lack of socialization made capturing him a challenge, and he only showed fear—not aggression—toward people. Thankfully, he was rescued just in time and has spent the last few years rehabilitating in a loving foster home, where he has made remarkable progress. Today, Dice is heartworm-free, cancer-free, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He thrives among other dogs, a cat, and older children, enjoying a peaceful life as a house- and crate-trained companion. Dice is a gentle and quiet couch potato, preferring calm environments and the company of a friendly pack. While he may always be timid around new people and will not be an adventurous walking companion, he is low maintenance and loyal on his own terms. Dice must join a home with welcoming dogs and a secure, tall fence for privacy and security. His sweet, shy presence will make a wonderful addition to a tranquil and understanding household. He is currently fostered in Jenks, OK at Mercy Sakes 2nd Chance Dogs and is ready to meet the right family. This could be the start of something paw-some.
