Adopt a American Staffordshire Terrier / Boxer / Mixed (short coat)

Kasper is great with his two foster sisters, especially his two year old Frenchie mix sister Penny. He is very gentile with her and lets her dictate when they play and when they stop. Kasper loves to run outside and would do well with a fenced in back yard. Ideally, Kasper would need to be walked twice per day, however these cold Minnesota days make that difficult and Kasper has been great about adjusting and just playing inside, or running around for short periods outside. Kasper has also adjusted to his foster mom’s crazy work schedule, and is great at taking naps, and having down time when it’s time to sleep. 

Kasper was not house-trained when he first came to his foster home, and now only has an occasional accident. He is working on his cues at the door, but he will need someone that watches him, and keeps consistency in how often he goes outside. 

Kasper is kennel trained and does not mind being in there for long periods of the day. Kasper loves to nap, be cuddled, and gives the best, sloppiest kisses. He knows basic commands and is very gentle taking food and giving up objects that he is not supposed to have. Kasper does a great job with toys and does not rip them apart. He is content with throwing them up in the air and trying to catch them, or dropping them down the stairs and retrieving them, just to do it all over again. 

Kasper has an adorably loving personality and would be great in a home with slightly older children. Kasper would do great with a more passive dog that does not challenge his dominant personality and also an adopter that has experience with bully breeds, or who will be consistent with training. Kasper deals with some food/treat aggression but has only displayed this behavior when he is very hungry. To curb this behavior, Kasper is fed small portions throughout the day.
