Archie is a 2.5-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix in Athens, GA who’s equal parts big-hearted and big personality. At roughly 50 pounds, he’s crate trained, housebroken, and tends to pick a spot close to your pillow at night. He’ll let you know when he needs to go out, and he makes himself comfortable in his crate—as long as both latches are secured, since he’s a pretty resourceful pup. He gets along well with other dogs, especially after a slow introduction. Meal times need fair supervision so Archie doesn’t sneak in a bonus portion. He adapts his play style to his dog friends, and loves chasing his tough rubber ball for long stretches. Loud, busy environments can overwhelm him, but he does great with a routine. Archie’s gentle with children and has charmed kids of all ages, thanks to his easygoing, respectful nature. He’s shy at first with new people, quietly finding his way closer for affection. While Archie is athletic and eager for long walks, he can settle down when it’s time to relax—especially if his housemates lead the way. His prey drive means he’s not suited to a home with cats, but for the right person who values his unique blend of independence and devotion, he’ll be a loyal, mischievous little shadow. Born January 20th, Archie is an Aquarius—curious, clever, and always a little unexpected. Ready to meet your new adventure buddy? They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
