Naia is a gray and silver, short-coated, medium-sized, adult American Staffordshire Terrier mix living in Fort Myers Beach, FL. She is a spayed female and is fully house trained with vaccinations up to date. Naia’s easygoing, loving nature makes her an ideal companion, and her upcoming birthday on April 28th puts her under the reliable and loyal Taurus sun sign.

About Love Swimming!!!

Naia is a Florida Curr Mix with a gentle spirit and a hint of sass. About to turn 8 this April, she keeps things easygoing at home, spending her days lounging and waiting for her favorite words: "treat," "car ride," and "walk." Say any of those and she lights up, tail wagging, paws tapping, ready for a bit of fun. As she's gotten older, Naia prefers shorter walks but won't turn down a stroll or a dip—she's a true swim fan, always up for time in the pool or a quiet beach. She’s crate trained but has earned the run of the house, never causing trouble or getting into things she shouldn’t. Her training shows: Naia knows commands like "sit," "down," and "wait," and while she’ll bark to alert you of outside noises, she does it to watch over her home. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to curl up with and spoil, she’d be happiest as your only pet and in a home with older kids. Her adoption fee will go towards her next vet visit and vaccination, and her new family will also get a complimentary year of vet visits. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
