About Tug

**IN NEW YORK** Meet Tug, a charming 2-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix who was found wandering as a stray. He quickly captured the hearts of those around him with his bright personality and was adopted, but through no fault of his own, he’s looking for a new forever home. Tug is a smart and happy boy who thrives with other dogs given slow introductions. His foster describes him as eager to please and incredibly food motivated, always ready for an adventure. Whether he’s running freely in an open field or cuddling up for some quality snuggle time, Tug brings joy and energy wherever he goes. He’s done well with children and can make a wonderful companion for a family. While Tug is dog-friendly, he’s selective about his canine pals, so proper introductions will help him identify which dogs he enjoys. He is playful, loving, and full of personality, making him a delightful addition to the right home. We promised Tug that the rest of his life would be the best of his life. Could that be with you?
