******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Dex is fostered in Houston TX and can be transported to an approved adopter. Dex is a 1.5 year old American Staffordshire Terrier mix. He is smart, loyal, and affectionate young dog who bonds deeply with his people. He is playful, intuitive, and happiest when he feels included and secure in his home. Dex loves to play, especially tug of war and games of catch, and he plays well with dogs of all sizes. What makes him special is how well he reads social cues. If another dog is not interested in playing, Dex immediately backs off. He is patient, respectful, and thoughtful in his interactions. On leash, Dex is excellent. He walks calmly without pulling and shows no reactivity when passing other dogs. He is very intelligent, eager to learn, and responds well to training. He enjoys having structure and clearly likes to have a job to do. Dex is fully house trained and crate trained. He goes right into his crate when asked and sleeps quietly through the night. He can also be left out in the house when his energy needs are met and does well without destructive behaviors. Dex has a strong prey drive and is not suitable for a home with cats or small animals. He has been around children but takes time to warm up and may growl when unsure, so he would do best in an adult only home or with dog savvy teens who understand boundaries. With his people, Dex is incredibly loving and affectionate. Once bonded, he enjoys cuddling, being close, and showing his loyalty. He would thrive in a home with adult adopters who enjoy walks, outdoor time, and continuing his training. ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt him?
