Name: Beefy
Stats: 7-year-old, 62-lb American Staffordshire Mix
Location: Mission Hills, CA
Rescue: Best Friends Animal Society Los Angeles
Sidewalk Dog: What an absolute unit. Tell us more!
Best Friends Animal Society: Beefy thinks he’s a lap dog, and it’s impossible to break the news to him that he’s not. When on walks, he’s like the Energizer Bunny and can just keep going and going and going. But as soon as he’s stretched his legs and done his business, he’s more than happy to head back inside for some intense cuddles.
SWD: We’re down for snuggles. What else is he into?
BFAS: He loves car rides, walks, and tire or Nerf Dog Tuff brand toys. He can get into the zone chewing on his toy by himself or have a ball (literally and figuratively) playing a rousing game of tug-of-war.
SWD: Tell us why he needs a little help spreading the woof.
BFAS: He’s middle-aged and should be an only dog (due to obsessive compulsive behavior and fixation on random objects), which makes finding his perfect home harder.
SWD: Well let’s find his home! Any mutts-haves?
BFAS: He would do best in a home with an experienced dog owner and without children or frequent visitors (perhaps using a crate when guests visit). Residing in a kennel is challenging for a dog with Beefy’s energy, so give him the chance to charm you outside of his kennel environment. Beefy has so much love to give.
