Adopt Hiena
Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female · Adult · 8 years
Hiena is an 8-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier found wandering streets after being surrendered by her previous owner. She's a loving, compact powerhouse who adores humans - snuggling, climbing on laps, and giving kisses. Hiena is excited about walks and adventures, travels well in cars, and would thrive with active owners who enjoy hiking and outdoor activities. She needs experienced handlers who understand dog body language, as she's selective with other dogs and prefers space during encounters. While she walks calmly past most dogs now, she doesn't tolerate dominant or threatening approaches from other dogs. Hiena is house-trained from her previous home experience and ready for her forever family.

Hiena was found wandering the streets alone in an area far away, and as she was first caught, she was brought to perrera El Paraiso... She had a microchip so the owner was contacted, but he did not want Hiena anymore and signed her over to the shelter. Hiena arrived to us very stressed, confused and on top of everything - in heat. Hiena is a human-loving compact power package, who is always excited to go for a walk with you. After an active adventure, she loves to snuggle with volunteers, climb on their laps, kiss their faces, and receive butt rubs.

As she is coming from a home, even though not from a good home, she still most probably knows daily human things like cars and living in a house environment. Hiena is very ready to go to her forever home, and her hear dream of a family would be active humans who like to go for walks and hikes in the nature or also on town streets, who love to take Hiena with them. Ideally her family would have previous experience, and either the knowledge of reading a dog's body language in canine socialisations, or the motivation to enroll in dog training/group training sessions. Hiena does not enjoy being approached by every dog on the street, and she is hoping that her human will advocate her wish for more personal space on walks and dog meetings. During her first days and weeks, she was quite reactive towards other dogs, firstly from the stress, but also from being in heat. Now she walks past most dogs calmly, being busy sniffing the grass, and sometimes she says hi to friendly non-threatening males. Hiena just does not like other dominant dogs with a threatening approach, she is a boss lady herself. As staffy-types of dogs usually are, she has the energy of
