Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Shavonne!
Shavonne is a sweet and thoughtful 5-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix with a heart full of love to give. She came to APA! from a shelter partner where she was at risk of euthanasia due to space limitations. Now, she’s ready to find her forever home and share her joy with a lucky family!
Shavonne is an affectionate cuddle bug who adores being close to her people—she’ll happily climb into your lap if you let her! Though a bit nervous at first, she warms up quickly and has already made new friends at APA. Shavonne is also a quick learner who’s improving her leash skills and enjoys checking in with her handler during walks.
Eligible for our Dog Day Out program, Shavonne loves exploring new places, strolling through the neighborhood, and spending quality time with her humans. She’s polite on leash, great with passing cars, and non-reactive to people from a distance.
Shavonne would thrive in a home without cats but has lived peacefully with male cats in the past. She’ll do best with a family that can give her plenty of love, attention, and opportunities for outdoor adventures.
This beautiful girl is ready to bring joy, snuggles, and companionship into your life. Could you be the perfect match for Shavonne? Come meet her today!
