River American Staffordshire Terrier Mix Raleigh, NC

River is a smart, housebroken, crate trained, and food motivated approx one year old mix.. His foster home has been working on leash skills and he already knows several basic commands. He would do fantastic with a single young adult or child-free couple who have some experience with dogs already and can continue to build on the foundation they have been working on. He is young and has a lot to learn.

Rivers ideal home has:

A dog his size that will play with him and help him learn doggy social skills, his foster home only has small old pups and he wants them to play so badly.

A fenced in yard for zoomies and games of fetch (Eventually he might even learn to bring the ball back!) Hes never attempted to escape the yard but a 6 tall fence is recommended so hes never tempted. He can leap clear over the couch Maybe agility training is in his future!

No small kids - he is fostered with several kids, as young as 4 years old, but is very much a puppy at heart does not seem to realize his own size and strength and can still be a bit unpredictable.

Lots of durable toys like Kongs and Benebones available. He LOVES to chew on toys but does a really good job only chewing what hes allowed too. Stuffed animals with squeakers are a blast for him - albeit very short lived!
