American Staffordshire Terrier

🧠 Temperament

She loves humans, is friendly with dogs, and even passed her cat test. Confident, loyal and very people-focused, with the same goofy streak as other bully breeds.

🎾 Exercise

She loves walks, getting bundled in blankets, and being close to her people. High — 60+ minutes daily plus mental work.

✂️ Grooming

Minimal. Short coat, occasional brushing, needs a coat in winter.

🏙️ In a NYC apartment

Frequently caught by building breed restrictions. Check your lease. Otherwise a clean, adaptable and affectionate city dog.

Adoption fee $200
