Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Achilles! This charming 5-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix is searching for his forever home. If you're looking for a dog who has outgrown the wild puppy phase, Achilles is your perfect match. He's happiest when going for an easy walk and stopping every so often to take in some smells. He adores getting lots of scratches and belly rubs from people, his favorite spot will be right in your lap. Despite his size, he thinks he's a lap dog. Achilles has been selective with other dogs and prefers the ones who want to coexist and not play much. He keeps his kennel area tidy, which suggests he's likely potty trained. If you're looking for a loving, laid-back companion, Achilles could be the ideal addition to your family. Does he sound like a good match for you?

Any dog that is younger than 1 year old is considered a puppy. They come with age-appropriate vaccines, are dewormed, microchipped, on heartworm preventative, and if age allows spay/neutered. If they are not old enough to have the procedure done, we do require a $100 deposit which is refunded once the surgery is done. We require the spay/neuter to be done at 6 months and can schedule it at one of our vets if you wish to not use your own vet. If you do decide to go to your own vet, once proof of procedure is done, a refund can be issued. Puppy adoption fees are $350 + $100 refundable deposit.
