About Pringle

If Pringle could ask for anything, she'd probably just want a soft couch and a gentle, patient family. She’s an older American Staffordshire Terrier mix, around 8 years old, spayed, and currently weighs 64lb (though she’s working on slimming down for her joints). Pringle is house trained and crate trained (though she rarely needs the crate). Out of all her life experiences, simple routines make her happiest: lounging close by your side, following you from room to room, and getting a bit playful in quick, silly bursts. Age is catching up to her—her hearing and eyesight seem to be fading, and she's a bit unsteady in her back legs, possibly from age or carrying extra weight. For now, she safely manages a few stairs, but a home with few or no stairs would make life easier. Pringle lived for months in the shelter before landing in her foster home. She’s relaxed with other dogs and cats, curious at first but settles in just fine after a quick greeting. She hasn’t been around children much, but with her gentle nature, she would likely do well. She’s motivated by food—if there’s something cooking, she’ll appear, nose leading the way. Mostly, though, she prefers to nap nearby while life carries on around her. Pringle is vaccinated and ready to meet the right person who can offer a steady, loving home for her golden years. Start your journey together! Apply now.
