My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey there, pals!

I'm Patton, the lovable blue American Staffordshire terrier mix who's ready to bring some sunshine into your life! Picture me: medium-sized, with a glossy blue coat that'll make heads turn wherever we go.

Let me tell you a little about myself-I'm as sweet as they come, with a heart full of love and a soul craving belly rubs. Snuggling up with my favorite humans is my idea of paradise, and I'm not shy about giving kisses to show my affection.

One of my favorite pastimes? Following my people around like a loyal shadow. Whether you're cooking in the kitchen, relaxing on the couch, or taking a stroll in the park, you can bet I'll be right there by your side, wagging my tail and soaking up every moment.

Now, before we can officially become best buds, don't forget to submit your adoption application online. It helps the shelter staff get everything ready for our meet-up and ensures a smooth transition when we finally get to hang out together.

And here's the best part-all of us furry friends here are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. So you can rest easy knowing you're bringing home a healthy and happy pup!

Let's be BFFs! Filling out an application is super duper easy and it puts you at no obligation to adopt if we aren't the perfect match. You can use this quick and easy link to meet me soon: https://foothillshumanesociety.org/adopt/adoption-application/

I can't wait to meet you and show you just how awesome life with a Pit Bull like me can be!
