Dexter American Staffordshire Terrier Olathe, KS

Dexter here, just hanging out, looking for my new home. My friends say I should tell you about my pretty, very intense eyes, but I want to point out that I work very hard at doing the best picture poses of any dog you'll ever meet. You should take me home so I can be *your* muse!

You might also be happy to know that I'm not one of those dogs in need of a bunch of exercise. Okay, Foster Mom said I'm "relatively lazy," and if that means I don't have to go on marathons, yay for me. A daily walk is just fine. I do like benebones and am also a fan of stuffies. See my cool blue stuffie in the picture? I'll bet Foster Mom will let me bring it to my new home! I'm a smart, smart pooch and since I'm treat motivated, training is a breeze.
I weigh in at about 70 sturdy pounds, but I'm definitely a trim 70 -- I try to be in tip top shape! I'm a bit shy when I first meet people, but if you're nice to me and maybe give me some treats (subtle, right?), I'll love you BIG time! (In case you haven't gotten my hints, the way to my heart is definitely through my stomach. And my stomach likes treats.) I really am the sweetest boy. In fact, despite my size, I strongly believe that your lap is my lap and will happily join you for a big slobbery kiss.

Since I'm a pretty chill guy, a low-activity, adult-only home (or one with older kids) would be best for me. And one without cats, please. I just don't understand those creatures. They are so weird! I have done well with some other dogs. We'd just need to interview each other before we become roomies.

Would you like to get together to make sure I'm your forever pup? Then go ahead and call/text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 and ask about me, Dexter! My foster home is in the Kansas City metro, but my friends will transport me to my forever home! What a deal!
