Rex American Staffordshire Terrier Seattle, WA

Hi, meet Rex! He is a three year old American Staffordshire terrier mix. He weighs 70 pounds. He’s a super sweet boy who wants to play hard, sleep hard. 85% of the time he just wants to snuggle up into your arms. He’s quick to pick up on house rules and has never had an accident in the house. He may try to “steal” certain items to test boundaries as to what he can use as toys but is easy to correct. He hates the rain but is happy to go out so long as you come out too.

As for walking, he’s happy to waddle along and check out his surroundings. He loves all the smells. He does get a little distracted by squirrels and bunnies but that is pretty normal for most dogs.

He is super gentle and while he can be mouthy, it is in a gentle way. He just wants to give your hand “pibble nibbles” which is adorable.

When out and about he’s a total ham who loooooves attention. He has had the opportunity to be a go to work dog and loves meeting new people. He’s in his element.

While he is super athletic and loves walks (he literally jumps for joy when he sees the harnesses come out) he’s really one of those dogs that’s happy to take life at your speed, he just wants to be with you whether that’s being a couch potato or constantly on the go. So while he would totally be happy to be with someone who does multiple runs a day, he would also be happy to just be on a daily walk every day. He loves dog puzzles and a peanut butter kong when life gets busy or the weather is bad.

As for toys: we don’t think there’s a single thing we have found that he doesn’t like. He gets so excited every night snuffling through the toy bin. I will say that most of his toys are nylon, hard rubber, or a mix of both. He also loves playing tug, either with a person or another dog.

He likes his sweaters or pajamas because he gets cold if it’s in the 50s or cooler.

He is house trained and crate trained.

He is healthy, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and neutered.

I am being fostered in Federal Way, WA.
