Transport is included in our adoption donation. <br/><br/>Luther, 10 months old (DOB May 2025), neutered male, Staffordshire Terrier mix, 55 pounds. He will likely continue to grow as he's not reached adulthood. He is in a foster home in HOUSTON, TEXAS and can transport to an adopter once approved. <br/><br/>Luther is a sweet, silly, high-energy pup with a heart full of love and a personality that will keep you smiling. With his bouncy floppy ears and playful spirit, he’s ready to find a forever home that will enjoy both his zoomies and his snuggles.<br/><br/>Dog Manners & Play Style<br/>Luther has a high-energy play style and loves a good chase. He happily allows other dogs to sniff him and will even roll onto his back in a submissive gesture if he meets a more dominant dog. After that, the zoomies kick in, and then he settles into regular, respectful play. He seems to recognize when another dog is finished playing and will happily come seek attention from his humans instead. He walks great on leash with another dog. He currently shares a home with a dog about his size. <br/><br/>He has interacted with a medium-sized dog (about 65 lbs) and showed no aggression or pushiness when meeting. He mostly stands calmly while being sniffed. On leash, he can be somewhat barky when seeing other dogs, but he walks beautifully side-by-side with a canine companion and this is something that can continue to improve with training.<br/><br/>Cats<br/>Luther has not yet been exposed to cats.<br/><br/>Kids<br/>He has not lived with children, but he is curious and enjoys playing fetch and tug, which would make him a great match for older kids. Because he can throw his weight around during play, he would likely do best in a home with children 10+.<br/><br/>House & Crate Training<br/>He is house-trained and has not had any accidents since his first day in foster care. He sleeps in his crate and, while he may protest briefly at first, he settles within a few minutes. When left alone (up to two hours), he typically just naps. He isn’t ready to be left loose in the house yet, as he’s still learning what is and isn’t a toy.<br/><br/>Food & Toys<br/>No resource guarding here. Luther eats comfortably around other dogs and shows no possessiveness over toys, treats, or food — even when hand-fed.<br/><br/>Energy Level & Home Needs<br/>Luther has that fun, happy puppy energy. He loves fetch and tug and will play with any toy he can find. A mile walk or 10 minutes of fetch is usually enough to help him settle nicely. While he would thrive in an active home, he also understands how to relax once his exercise needs are met.<br/><br/>He does not require another dog in the home — in fact, he seems to prefer human interaction and bonding time with his people. However, given his young age we would ask how you plan to socialize him if no other dogs in the home. <br/><br/>Personality<br/>Outgoing | Curious | Playful | Smart | Silly | Affectionate<br/><br/>Luther seeks attention, loves pets, and will happily give plenty of kisses. He enjoys being close to his human and absolutely melts for belly scratches. When meeting strangers, he may pancake and act a little skittish at first, but he warms up quickly with gentle reassurance.<br/><br/>In the car, he’s still learning confidence getting in and out, but once inside he enjoys looking out the window and settles nicely if his bed is with him.<br/><br/>Fun Facts<br/>• His floppy ears bounce adorably on walks.<br/>• He hasn’t quite figured out how long his legs are yet, which makes fetch extra entertaining.<br/>• He loves belly scratches.<br/><br/>Ideal Home<br/>Luther would do well in many types of homes — apartment or house — as long as he receives regular exercise and continued guidance. A backyard would be a bonus for zoomies, but daily walks and playtime are just as great. He doesn’t mind if he’s the only dog or has canine siblings, but he’ll always choose his humans first.<br/><br/>Luther is a very sweet, very smart boy who settles beautifully after playtime and is eager to learn. With a little continued training and a lot of love, he’s going to make an incredible companion.<br/><br/><br/>***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.
