  • House-trained

He’s been through a lot... time in the shelter, feeling sick, and being isolated... and now that he’s safe, he’s finally starting to show us who he really is. Each day he settles in more, his personality comes out a little brighter: curious, sweet, and loves being near social dogs. Churro absolutely loves other dogs and thrives when he has appropriate canine role models around him. He takes so much confidence from them, and watching him learn and blossom in a stable environment has been the best kind of magic. He also previously lived with cats, which is a great sign for a home with feline family members (we’ll always recommend slow, structured introductions to set everyone up for success). Churro is going to be a true “lifetime buddy” dog, the kind who wants to be part of your day, tag along on adventures, and then curl up and relax when it’s time to come home. Churro’s ideal home 🍯 A calm, patient home that can continue his training as he grows into a teenager 🏡 A predictable routine and a cozy place to rest and settle If you’re looking for a playful adventure buddy... Churro might be your guy. Apply to adopt: BeezysRescue.org/adopt Follow along: @beezys_rescue

American Staffordshire Terrier

🧠 Temperament

Each day he settles in more, his personality comes out a little brighter: curious, sweet, and loves being near social dogs. 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 an LA apartment

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

Adoption fee $450
