About Mya (American staffordshire terrier) in Springdale

Mya is waiting for you at Paws Across Pittsburgh in Springdale, PA 15144. “Look at this pup… isn’t she neat?” Do you remember Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid? Well… Mya is pretty sure she wrote it—because all she wants is to be part of your world… preferably right next to you at all times. She is a 42 lb, three (3) year old lady from West Virginia. Mya is the definition of a Velcro dog. Need a buddy for a trip to the fridge? She’s there. Bathroom supervisor? Already on duty. Personal cuddle consultant? Qualified. Not a day will go by without kisses.With her adorable short legs, you may need to give her a little boost onto the bed, but don’t worry—she’ll politely let you know with her signature snorts. A yard with a fence or a secure leashing system is preferred as Mya is quick and interested in checking out her surroundings. You definitely want to hold her collar when you open the door for this lady.Outside, Mya is a total star. She loves to play fetch and will go and go until you remind her to take a break. And when it’s time to recharge? She’s a pro, whether it’s stretched out on the couch, curled up on your bed, or tucked under a shady chair. Being a sleek black beauty, she can get warm easily, so she appreciates a good rest or fan to catch her breath.And she’s earned it. This amazing girl recently gave birth to five puppies and is also a survivor of a successfully removed mammary tumor.She enjoys a good shower and nail day, and her medium-length black coat is easy to maintain with a weekly brush. Don't forget the belly rubs!She’d be happy as your one-and-only or with another playful pup—her foster brother gives her two paws up for wrestling, tug-of-war, cuddles, and kisses. Don’t let her size fool you… she can absolutely hold her own!Because Mya shows her love with playful little “corn-cobbing” nibbles, a home with older kids would be the best fit. Her feelings about cats? Still a mystery waiting to be solved.Mya is house-broken and comfortable
