Whiskey

Meet Whiskey, a one-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier from Camarillo, CA, whose big heart matches his big paws! This brown-and-white bundle of love is around 85 pounds, and has an affectionate nature and playful energy! Whiskey is ready to find his next home where he can be showered with love and attention.

Whiskey is the ultimate companion dog—he craves human interaction and thrives when he’s around his family. Whether he's lounging on the couch or following you from room to room, he just wants to be part of the action. But don’t be fooled by his cuddle-loving side—he’s also a high-energy pup who enjoys chewing on toys and exploring his surroundings! With his growing curiosity, he’ll need plenty of playtime, engagement, and training to channel his energy in the right direction.

He already knows sit, down, and home, but since he’s still young, he’ll benefit from consistent training to help him become the best version of himself. He’s crate-trained, house-trained, and gets along well with other dogs! When it comes to cats, he’s neutral—he doesn’t mind them but doesn’t interact much either. His stubborn streak is part of his charming personality, so a patient, dedicated family who can continue his training with positive reinforcement will be the best fit for him.

Whiskey is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, making him all set for his next adventure! He follows a daily routine and visits the groomer once a month, so he’s used to regular care and handling.

If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate, and fun-loving pup, Whiskey is waiting to meet you! Could you be the perfect family for this handsome boy? Reach out today to bring Whiskey home!
