Adopt a American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat)

Roxie is a sweet American Staffordshire mix who was found starving on the streets. Thanks to some residents of a nursing home, she was fed, but that was not a situation that could continue.

After being passed along to a number of people who wanted to help but were not able to keep her, she entered foster care with her current caretakers. Roxie has been good with dogs in her foster home, Roxie even met the challenge of living with one of the small dogs in her foster home who is blind and has spinal injuries. 

However, this girl is exuberant and strong, even for the 45 lbs pint-sized package that she is. Therefore, we would recommend a home with older children, only because she might unintentionally knock a smaller child down in greeting them.

Roxie has lots of energy and would be a great playmate for a medium to large dog, and she would be a great jogging partner. She does prefer male dogs and has been someone reactive to female dogs.

She has been curious and accepting of the cat in her foster home, who will nuzzle Roxie as she passes by. Roxie's foster parents supervise such encounters, and would recommend same for others at this point.

Roxie is house trained and is learning basic obedience.

Roxie is current on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped and has tested heartworm negative. She is current on heartworm preventative and flea preventative. If you are interested in Roxie, please fill out a 
Dog Adoption Application

Our adoptions include a foster period of 4-6 weeks so that you can be sure that this pet is a good fit without any pressure, and we are available to answer any behavior or training questions during that time (and beyond, if you wish).

**Local adoptions preferred (within 1-2 hrs of the Greater New Orleans area), but please contact us if you live outside of this area, as exceptions are sometimes made on an individual basis depending on the dog or circumstances. We do not ship animals, as a part of our adoption process is for the potential adopter(s) to meet the dog to assess if he/she is a match for the family.
