Meet Whiskey

Meet Whiskey! A spirited one-and-a-half-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier from Camarillo, CA, whose essence is a perfect blend of playful energy and soulful cuddles, wrapped in a sleek charcoal brown coat with charming white accents. Whiskey may be just a pup, but he already has a heart full of love and a strong desire to be wherever his people are! He's a large breed in the making—expected to grow into a solid 85 pounds of snuggly strength and goofball charm. Whether he's trotting after his favorite humans or flopping dramatically on the couch for a nap, this guy lives for companionship and cozy moments. His favorite pastimes include chewing on anything remotely chewable—he’s a toy enthusiast through and through—and stretching out in ultimate relaxation mode with his family. Whiskey is crate-trained, house-trained, and has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He’s even picked up a few commands like “sit,” “down,” and “home,” which is wonderful for a young pup, especially one with a playful, slightly stubborn streak. While he hasn’t had formal obedience training yet, Whiskey is eager to learn with someone who uses positive reinforcement and has the time to help him channel all that energy. He thrives in a home where his caregivers can spend time with him, shower him with affection, and guide him through the wonderful world of learning how to be the best boy! He’s friendly with other dogs, mostly unbothered by cats, and doesn't show signs of anxiety when left alone for a bit—though he’ll probably be waiting by the door the second you get home, tail wagging and ready for attention. Whiskey is that loyal shadow-type companion, always down for a cuddle or a game of tug-of-war! Are you ready to welcome this sweet, goofy, couch-loving pup into your life? He’s ready to chew, play, snuggle, and love his way right into your heart! To learn more or to meet Whiskey, reach out to [email protected]. Could your home be the one where Whiskey’s next chapter begins?
