About Woody

Meet Woody! This charming seven-and-a-half-year-old Beagle/American Staffordshire Terrier mix is currently in Brooklyn, NY, boasting a golden and white coat that perfectly complements his warm personality. Woody weighs 65 pounds and is a total sweetheart who loves being close, often opting to sit right on your lap! Known as the "Mayor of Greenpoint", he makes friends everywhere he goes, greeting everyone with his enthusiastic tail wags and unique Chewbacca-like sounds. Woody enjoys long walks, relaxed days by the river, and hiking, but he’s just as happy to cuddle and indulge in some peanut butter snacks afterward. He’s smart and well-trained, knowing tricks like sit, heel, spin, and high five. His excellent leash manners ensure that every outing is enjoyable. Sitters rave about Woody’s joyful spirit, while dog camp counselors admire his playful nature. However, Woody does have a few specific needs: he experiences significant separation anxiety and needs a kind and experienced family who is around most of the time. He cannot live with other pets, as he can feel uneasy around unfamiliar dogs, especially in tight spaces. Woody is best suited for an adult-only home or one with older children, as he’s shown some discomfort around young kids. Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, house-trained, and crate-trained, Woody is ready for a new family who will appreciate his affectionate nature and give him the care he needs. Can your family be the loving match Woody is looking for? If you're interested in adopting Woody, please email adopt@joyfulpets.com. He can also be adopted from a distance—because love knows no bounds!
