About Woody

Meet Woody! This charming seven-and-a-half-year-old Beagle/American Staffordshire Terrier mix is currently enjoying life in Brooklyn, NY. With his golden and white coat shining brightly, Woody’s personality is just as vibrant. Weighing 65 pounds, he’s a warmhearted companion who relishes being close to his humans, often opting to sit directly on your lap to express his affection. Known as the "Mayor of Greenpoint," Woody greets everyone with his enthusiastic tail wags and his silly Chewbacca-like greetings. He enjoys long walks, riverside relaxation, and cuddling after a day of adventures. While he loves the outdoors, lazy afternoons with peanut butter treats are also right up his alley. Woody is well-trained, knowing commands like sit, heel, and high five, making outings a breeze. However, Woody has special needs. He suffers from severe separation anxiety, requiring a patient and experienced owner who is home most of the time and can provide behavioral support. He thrives best as the only pet in an adult-only household or one with respectful children over 12. His behavior around other dogs can be unpredictable, and he needs to feel secure in his space. Woody is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and house-trained, ready for a loving family who will cherish his playful spirit and affectionate nature. Could your home be the perfect fit for Woody?
