Zuse - American Staffordshire Terrier For Adoption in Bronx County, New York

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.

This is peanut he is ahout 4 years old he’s the sweetest boy ever, hasn’t been around other dogs really or cats so not sure about interaction with them, he loves cuddling and being with you all the time! Would really love someone that is home a lot, has a yard or space for him to run he loves being outside sniffing everything, he does good on leash but better off leash in a yard he may need some leash training he pulls a little but it’s cause he’s so excited to be outside! Unfortunately I do not have the time he needs to be taken care of I work long hours and am starting a new career, I really would love someone that is around often and can be with him he does have a little seperation anxiety. He doesn’t chew on anything or use the bathroom inside he’s a good boy. He barely barks. He’s just a sweet cuddle bug! He needs a loving family or person, you will never be lonely I’ll tell you that! He love treats and toys! Please help me, and get my sweet boy and love him as much as I do! He’s super excited lots of energy and super sweet and timid at times also.

Affectionate, loving and full of energy.

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!
