A741669 - Hazel - American Staffordshire

Hazel is a 7 month old american staffordshire terrier. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 12/10/07.

Hazel looks so shy in her cage but don't be fooled. We took her out and she was absolutely all over the place. She pulled, ran and jumped on all the outdoor furniture. She even tried to get a taste of our egg and cheese sandwhich. She definitely needs training, but it should be easy because she's only 7 months old.

She needs a patient owner who will work with her obediance training. She does sit a little but not for long.

Hazel is looking for her forever home.

Rider - A729667 - American Staffordshire Terrier

Rider is a 6 year old American Staffordshire Terrier. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/16/07.

Rider was extremely sick. He kept heaving and sneezing. I'm sure he was grateful to be outdoors, smelling the fresh air.

I let go of the leash and he did his own thing. He gave me the impression that he is use to being on his own. He's definitely not a follower. It took him a long while to even want to come look for me. Nonetheless, Rider is an amazing dog and I enjoyed my time with him.

Dora - A717244 - American Staffordshire Terrier

Dora is a 10 month old American Staffordshire Terrier. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center since 9/15/07.

Dora was surrendered by her owners because they said she needs puppy training. WHAT!!!!! YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS BEFORE YOU GOT HER??? WHY IS THIS A SURPRISE TO YOU???? PUPPIES NEED TRAINING!!!! DUH!!

Anyway, that felt good! When I approached Dora's cage she growled at me. She wouldn't stop, so I bent down and gave her my back to sniff. How easy that was. After she sniffed and came to the conclusion I was trustworthy, she was my best friend. It was very easy for me to take her out and for a walk. She is a puller though. BUT she listens. Several times, I just stopped and pulled her back towards me to wait and she did. Eventually she got the hint and walked by my side. She's adorable. All it takes is a little patience.

Rex - A729460 - American Staffordshire Terrier

Rex is a 2 year old American Staffordshire Terrier. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/15/07.

This beauty was whining so much in his cage. I couldn't resist. He would whine, sit, lay down, jump and then repeat the entire number all over again. Finally, he calmed down or just exhausted himself to the point where I was able to get the leash around his neck to take him out.

Once aside he was a dream. Very easy to walk on the leash. I didn't have any problems with pulling. He did go for the leash a few times to play tug of war. He enjoys being hugged and kissed and always returns the love.

Pete - A726800 - American Staffordshire Terrier

Pete is a 1 year old American Staffordshire Terrier Mix. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 8/28/07.

Pete was also very sick. He threw up as well. He just laid in his cage not wanting to be bothered. But I figured he could use some fresh air so I took him out.

He was no trouble at all. Right out of the cage he was walking by my side. After a few laps around the roof he was feeling better. We rested some and he laid down to relax. The flies were bothering him though, so he didn't get as much rest as he wanted :)

Pete is looking for a safe and loving home.

Roun - A720257 - Amercian Staffordshire Terrier

Roun is a 10 months old American Staffordshire Terrier. He has been at the Animal Care & Contro Center in NYC since 7/23/07.

This is one big puppy!!! Roun was very quiet in his cage. He whined a bit when I kept passing by. I was reluctant to take him out because he was so big and I thought he would just pull and pull. Turns out he has something wrong with his back legs. I'm not sure what it is. Needless to say, he walked slow and rested on occasion. He is a stubborn one. He absolutely refused to go back into his cage. And he's strong so I had to get a staff member to help. It always amazes me how fast they are able to get these dogs back in their cages. I'm too soft :(

Roun is a love bug and a ladies man. He passed the men and went for the women and shared lots of kisses and hugs with us. He is definitely underweight. You can see his ribs, but once in a safe and loving home, he's going to flourish :)

Sheeba - A716393 - American Staffordshire Terrier

Sheeba is a 1 year old American Staffordshire Terrier. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 6/30/07.

Sheeba was amazing. She walked nicely by my side and enjoyed giving kisses, although I have to say she seemed a bit hesitant. I kissed her first, she'd sniff me to make sure it was okay and then she would lay it on me. She's absolutely beautiful :)

She is very skinny. Her owners gave her up because they claim they have no time for her. Didn't they have time to feed her???? Sad... This excuse is obviously a lie..

Sheeba also had a chunk of skin that was missing from her front left paw. Often she would stop and try and lick it. That must've hurt her to walk on it...

Sheeba deserves a safe and loving home

Hercules - A664298 - American Staffordshire Terrier

Hercules is a 2 year and 6 month old American Staffordshire Terrier. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 6/18/07. He was surrendered by his owners. They owned him for 1 year and now have no time for him..... pisses me off to say the least....!!!!

Hercules is a true lover boy! He loves, and I means loves, to kiss and hug :) He is very playful and energetic. There were some volunteers and shelter staff taking out the dogs today. The girl in the photo is one of them. I love seeing others there, it makes me feel good to know there are other people out there spending their time with these adorable and loving dogs. I also like it because I can play with them and not worry about holding the leash :) ha, ha!

Bobby - A711827 - American Staffordshire Terrier

Bobby is a 10 month old American Staffordshire Terrier. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 6/3/07.

Bobby is one energetic pup. He wanted to keep going and going and going... like the energizer bunny :-D I didn't attempt to slow him down nor did I try to keep him in line. I let him have his way. I'm such a push over sometimes, especially when it comes to bullies :-D
