Thatcher is 3 ½ year old Boxer-American Staffordshire Terrier mix. He is a large, sweet dog that needs a chance in life. He is the best friend you could ever have, he is loyal, loving and really an easy going guy. I love this dog.. Thatcher loves walks, playing with the ball, and being with you as much as possible Thatcher has so much to give and he can’t wait to love, and to find his forever home.

Thatcher has had a tough life and needs someone that will love and protect him and be able to work with him. Because of his tough beginning he has some fear issues and can be a bit of a nutter at times when meeting new people. The best home for him will be with an experienced dog owner that can handle a large dog and can provide him a safe space where he can be his best. And his best is awesome! He would be good in a home with 1-2 adults. He needs a calm home where he can feel safe & secure. He strongly bonds with his people…

This guy is great on leash, really a pleasure to walk.  He also knows basic commands, sit, stay, down, come. He is generally well behaved and likes to lay around and chew on his bones when inside. The closer he can be to you, the better. You’ll find him sleeping by your feet often. He is also great with other dogs – very gentle and playful with his housemates.
