Description

Successfully rehomed by Southridge Animal Centre

A ' victim ' that is what you are looking at. A victim of prejudice and misconception - He's a staffie and of course people assume they are ' devil ' dogs.Well you could not be more wrong, having lived with young children and cats he is adorable.Hating being in kennels as he was so used to a wonderful family life, you often see him hiding in his bed wary of strangers staring at him through the bars. But once you get him out he is like a different person, loves playing with the ball and just wants attention.He has had no contact with other dogs before coming here and can react badly but that is kennels for you. Please ask to meet him, he really does not deserve to spend the remaining years of his life alone in an empty kennel.
