Adopt a Staffordshire Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat)

Staffordshire Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) Dog

*Ciara* the Dog needs a home

Ciara is a bouncy lady with endless energy, and she'd make a wonderful addition to an active forever home! She enjoys jogs and play time, and would love to continue working on her basic manners to make sure she's the best dog she can be. Ciara can live with kids as young as 8 who are confident around dogs and won't mind if she forgets her manners and jumps on them. Ciara is still working on her confidence around other dogs, so she does best with friends who have enough confidence for the both of them without being too pushy with her. Ciara is most likely a little too bouncy and enthusiastic to hang out with cats, but she'd love to hang out with you! Come and meet her at our Northeast adoption center.


Name: Ciara


Location: Northeast Adoption Center (All our dog meets are by appointment for approved adopters only.)


Breed: Staffordshire Terrier mix (Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label)


Age: 6-12 months


Weight: 45 pounds


Reason for surrender to shelter: unrealistic expectations (Big, young dogs are a lot of work!)


If you are interested in meeting Ciara, please email [email protected] for an application.  If you have questions, please email the above address or contact our adoption staff at 215-298-9680, ext. 16.
