About Bison

Bison is a strong, athletic Staffordshire Bull Terrier in Alexandria, VA, and at about 2 years old, he’s still got plenty of puppy energy left. He was rescued from the brink at the county shelter and has proven he can conquer new challenges—he went through additional training after his first foster didn’t work out, and he’s come out the other side even more ready for a fresh start. Bison is truly toy-obsessed and treats every play session like it’s the best part of his day. He has a huge drive to play and would be happiest with a very active owner who understands his energy and will keep both his mind and body busy. Bison is house trained, short-coated, and up to date on vaccines, plus he’s neutered and ready to go. He loves his toys so much that he’s best as the only dog in the home, and he is not a fit for cats. Right now, Bison is waiting in boarding for a foster or adopter who can give him the consistency and care he deserves. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
