Our rescue is working with a wonderful human who is in need of rehoming Dahlia aka Dali, her sweet, shy female 3+ year old American Staffordshire Terrier / Pit Mix pup. She has had her DNA tested and also has some American BullDog and Boxer breeds in her genes!
Rescued in 2024 after living as a stray and raising puppies, Dali had a tough start and can be timid with new people. With patience and kindness, she blossoms into a goofy, affectionate, loyal companion who just wants to be loved.
Personality & Behavior
- Shy at first, but deeply affectionate once she trusts you
- Playful and goofy — expect zoomies and couch snuggles
- A “velcro dog” who loves being close to her person
- Strong-willed but very food-motivated and eager to learn

Dali would thrive in a home that is:
- Quiet and low-stress

Health & Status
- Spayed
- Fully vaccinated (through February)
- Microchipped
