Boston - American Staffordshire Terrier For Adoption in King County, Washington

Ivy Sage is a beautiful, 45lb, 2-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I rescued her about a year and a half ago, hoping to give her a better life—and in many ways, we’ve made beautiful progress together. She’s smart, sweet, full of energy, and knows basic commands like “sit,” “lay down,” and “paw.” She loves praise, belly rubs, and learning new things—especially when treats are involved. But Ivy has also come with emotional wounds and behavioral challenges that I wasn’t fully prepared for. She’s reactive toward other dogs, and despite every effort, she hasn’t been able to get along with the dog I’ve had for years. It’s caused stress in our home, and it breaks my heart that I haven’t been able to give her the peace, consistency, and calm she truly needs to heal and thrive. She’s incredibly loving but needs a very specific kind of home: one where she’s the only pet, with someone who has experience working with reactive dogs, who understands her past doesn’t define her future, and who can offer her the kind of attention and structure she’s been missing. This decision has taken a toll on me emotionally. I didn’t rescue Ivy just to give up on her—I’m making this choice because I love her, and because I know she deserves more than I can give right now. She’s not a bad dog—she’s just a misunderstood one who needs the right match to help her continue growing into the amazing companion I know she can be. If you or someone you trust can offer Ivy a safe, stable, and one-dog home where she’ll be loved, supported, and truly seen—please reach out. She’s been through a lot, but she still believes in people. I want her next chapter to be the one where she finally gets to feel peace, safety, and unconditional love. Please help me find Ivy the forever home she’s been waiting for.

She calm and quiet but loves to play with other dogs. She good a not using the bathroom in the house. And likes to play around and sleep. She good at eating and doesn’t get into trouble. If also good at being told No. and to come here.

Parker is very calm. Loves to play and go on runs/walks. Doesn’t bark at other dogs. Great with kids that are a little older 8 and older. Does have a resource guarding issue only with food and only with other dogs not people. He is an amazing boy who is lazy but will be active when you want him to. Perfect car ride buddy!
