About Pooch

Meet Pooch! This friendly American Staffordshire Terrier/Pit Bull Terrier mix is about 10 years old. Pooch was surrendered due to his owner’s allergies, which means he’s had a bit of a tumultuous past, moving between homes. This can be confusing for dogs, so Pooch will need a patient family that can help him settle into a new routine. Right away, Pooch showed his sweet nature, wagging his tail and greeting everyone gently. He enjoys belly rubs and loves soaking up the sun. While he's curious about squeaky toys, he’s not overly fixated on them. Pooch is crate trained and adores his soft dog bed, embodying the spirit of a laid-back companion. He appreciates daily walks but isn’t one to demand intense workouts—just being part of your life makes him happy. Pooch has shared his home with dogs, cats, and kids, adjusting well to all, as long as introductions are made thoughtfully. This loving senior is simply seeking a cozy spot to retire. If you think you could offer him that, apply to meet him today!
