About Tug

Meet Tug! This lovable American Staffordshire Terrier mix is about 2 years old and found himself wandering into a yard of a previous adopter. His bright personality quickly won hearts, and he was adopted, but now he's back looking for a new forever home without any fault of his own. Tug is a happy, smart boy who enjoys other dogs once he's had slow, proper introductions. He’s eager to please and highly food motivated, which makes him a great candidate for training. His foster says he's quite the adventurer, loving to explore open fields and follow interesting scents. When he’s not out and about, he’s a total snuggle bug, making him an excellent companion for a family. Tug does well with children, but keep in mind he might need some extra time to find his match with other dogs due to being selective. We’re committed to finding Tug the loving home he deserves. Could that be with you?
