Costello 's Story

Costello is a 112-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix who came to the shelter as a stray with his brother, Abbott. While were still getting to know him, one thing is already very clear — Costello knows how to turn on the charm.<br/><br/>This sweet, affectionate boy loves being petted and is generous with kisses. He enjoys human attention and soaks up every bit of love he can get. Costello has a friendly, endearing personality that makes it hard not to fall for him.<br/><br/>We havent had the chance to dog test Costello yet, but with the right meet-and-greet, he may do well with a dog friend. If youre looking for a young pup with a loving heart, playful potential, and plenty of kisses to give, Costello might be your perfect match.
