About Michelle

Meet Michelle! This 3-year-old spayed female Staffordshire Terrier mix, weighing around 48 pounds, is currently thriving in a foster home in Houston, Texas. She was rescued from euthanasia at a high-kill shelter and is now ready to transport to her forever home. Michelle is incredibly friendly and affectionate, especially with her fellow dogs. She enjoys playing and snuggling with her doggy foster siblings, demonstrating a lovely touch of enthusiasm without any aggression. Outside, she has lots of playful energy, while indoors, she transforms into a calm and mellow companion, often lounging or napping peacefully. She has been sweet and loving towards children aged 8 and up, though her excitement can lead her to jump, so a home with kids aged 12+ or older, dog-savvy teens would be ideal. Michelle is fully housebroken and crate trained, and she benefits from guidance during meal times as she can be a bit sneaky around food. This lovable companion walks well on a leash but can pull, so continued training will help her refine those skills. She does best in a secure yard or on a leash due to her curious nature and tendency to explore. With a warm personality and a knack for cuddling, Michelle is looking for a family that can provide her with love, structure, and playtime. Ready to welcome this goofy girl into your home?
