My story

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

**Hey There! Sting Here: Your Future Bestie!**

Hey, I’m Sting! Currently living the dream in sunny Tampa, FL, and loving every minute of it. I’m about 4 years old and, believe it or not, I started as a stray in Miami. Yeah, Miami – where strays seem to be as common as beachgoers. Luckily, a kind human scooped me up, kept me safe, and made sure I was well-fed. Big shoutout to them!

So, we did a DNA test just for kicks and guess what? I’m 50% Dogo and 50% other bully dog breeds! But let’s be real – I’m 100% awesome. I’m a fun-loving guy who entertains myself by running around the yard like a goofball. One thing’s for sure, I adore a soft bed – so much so that sharing is not on my agenda. I’m okay with some dogs, but honestly, I’d prefer to be the king of my own castle. I play nice with the girl dogs through the fence, but when it comes to my stuff, sharing is a no-go.

I’m the perfect companion for someone or a couple who wants a buddy to take on walks and chill with at home or on the road. I’m a pro at car rides and love exploring new places. Plus, I have this fantastic ability to entertain myself – you should see me toss toys around. It’s a one-dog show, and it’s epic!

Now, let’s talk about my favorites: belly rubs and hugs. I’m a staff favorite at the kennel because I give the best hugs and absolutely melt for belly rubs. I flop over, ready for a good rub down, and practically go into a blissful coma. I’m super easygoing, don’t bark at everything like some other dogs, and I’m just a big sweetheart.

I’ve got some good news too – I was heartworm positive, but I crushed my treatment in March 2024 like a champ! Did I mention I love belly rubs? Seriously, I’m the king of belly rubs. Can’t get enough of them.

So, if you’re looking for a fun, loving, and all-around awesome dog, I’m your guy. Let’s make some great memories together – I can’t wait to be your best buddy!
