Herman was found in Georgia, abandoned, barely holding on. Skin and bones. Wounded. Forgotten. Most people walked away. We didn’t. We said yes to Herman, because no dog deserves to suffer like that, and no life is beyond saving. Today, he’s safe, healing, and showing us the sweetest, most resilient soul. Despite everything, Herman still wants love. He still trusts. He still hopes. Now all he needs… is you. Be the one who changes his ending. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Please note that the listed location for this dog may not be accurate due to technical limitations of this database and we have transportation options available within 6 hours of NYC (so don't let location hold you back)!

American Staffordshire Terrier

🧠 Temperament

Confident, loyal and very people-focused, with the same goofy streak as other bully breeds. Strong-willed but highly food-motivated and responsive to reward-based training.

🎾 Exercise

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
