Tiana American Staffordshire Terrier Phoenixville, PA

Hi! My good friend, Tiana has been waiting patiently for the right person to come along and scoop her up. She was pulled from ACCT into a loving foster home where she has proven to be a wonderful house guest. A few other tidbits about Ms. T….

- She’s a 4-5 year old adult dog which means there’s no fuss or muss. She knows right from wrong despite some errant pillow de-stuffing every now and again. On the rare occasion when she isn’t completely chilled out you’ll see her trotting around the house with her favorite duck toy or at one of her indoor stake out locations guarding the house from overzealous squirrels.

- She’s independent. I work out of the home therefore she’s left alone 8-9 hours. Like most pet owners who obsessively wonder what their animals could possibly be doing all day, I watch her on camera. She does nothing. Like barely moves unless 4 or more treats are thrown from the Furbo. She lacks mischief.

- She would thrive in a home where she’s the only pet. I mean, she did live with a puppy who she took great joy in bossing around but co-housing with another dog would be personality dependent. Their dynamic culminated into running figure eights in the backyard, each taking turns chasing the other. It was beautiful seeing their friendship evolve.

- She is potty-trained on a dog door which makes life super easy. She knew to potty outdoors on day one with or without a dog door.

- She’s crate-trained. This doesn’t matter day to day because she has free reign of the home but it adds to her good manners.

- She looks freakishly close to a gremlin. However, her DNA test proved us all wrong coming back at 80% Pit bull/Staffy mix with some American Bulldog thrown in.

- If you’re so inclined to share your bed, Tiana’s preferred “side” is the middle burrowed under the covers. Sometimes I check to see if she’s still breathing.

- An experienced handler is best suited to handle Tiana when walking on leash. She has tools like a halti/gentle leader to assist but she is still working on managing the “obstacles” thrown her way when she leaves the home.

She’s a delightful companion who will drink every ounce of love you pour into her. She couldn’t possibly be a more loyal, affectionate best friend. If you’d like to meet Tiana, we’d be happy to set up a meet ‘n greet at her foster home - contact us at 610-933-0606 or fill out an application at www.mlar.org/adopt-application
