About Shay

Meet Shay, a loving 7-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier who's ready to find her forever home. Shay has a sweet temperament and is wonderfully laid-back, thriving on affection from her people. She's happiest curled up near her loved ones, providing endless loyalty and companionship. Fully house and crate trained, Shay knows commands like sit, stay, shake, and high-five. She comes with her own stylish crate to ease her transition and a six-month supply of heartworm prevention. This girl loves car rides and treats like pup cups, always eager to tag along for adventures. Shay builds strong bonds and is naturally protective of those she loves, making her an ideal companion for an experienced owner familiar with strong, protective breeds. An introduction to any resident dogs should be handled carefully, and a home without small animals would be best due to her prey drive. At her age, Shay has settled down and is looking forward to couch naps, car rides, and sharing her heart with a new person. This sweet girl could be just what you're looking for in a beloved companion. Click apply to start the adoption process.
