Adopt a American Staffordshire Terrier in New Jersey

American Staffordshire Terriers — often called Am Staffs — are confident, smart, and good-natured dogs with strong loyalty to their people. They appear frequently in rescue due to breed stereotypes rather than temperament issues. A rescued Am Staff is typically affectionate, eager to please, and great with children.

New Jersey's rescue dog community is highly active, with organizations across the state running on transport from Southern shelters. Newark, Trenton, and the shore communities have particularly active networks. A rescued New Jersey dog has typically traveled significantly to reach its new home.
