On one of the coldest days New York has ever faced, Moses was found abandoned in a Greenpoint park, alone, frightened, and suffering. His paws were raw and bleeding from the freezing ground. When our founder, Jennifer, heard about him, she didn’t hesitate. She went to get him immediately and drove him straight to the hospital, where Moses finally felt warmth, safety, and care. Moses is a gentle soul through and through. He’s a bit timid at first and on the shy side, but once he feels comfortable, his sweet nature shines. He’s especially fond of the ladies, a true soft-spoken ladies’ man, so gentlemen, fair warning: this handsome fellow might steal some hearts. He’s been through more than any dog should, and he’s ready to start the next chapter of his life,one filled with warmth, patience, and unconditional love. Could that chapter be with you? 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

He’s a bit timid at first and on the shy side, but once he feels comfortable, his sweet nature shines. Confident, loyal and very people-focused, with the same goofy streak as other bully breeds.

🎾 Exercise

High — 60+ minutes daily plus mental work.

✂️ Grooming

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

🏙️ In a NYC apartment

On one of the coldest days New York has ever faced, Moses was found abandoned in a Greenpoint park, alone, frightened, and suffering. Frequently caught by building breed restrictions.
