About Aurora
Aurora is a delightful 6-month-old puppy with a vibrant personality and a heart full of love. This American Staffordshire Terrier and Boston Terrier mix (with a dash of Beagle, American Pit Bull Terrier, Bulldog, and Boxer in her DNA) is a medium-sized bundle of joy with a short, white/cream coat. At 21 pounds now, she’s expected to grow to 35-40 pounds, but her larger-than-life character already makes her the boss of her foster home! Aurora is loving, curious, playful, friendly, affectionate, funny, smart, and a total snuggle bug with a touch of bossy charm.

Aurora’s Story
urora is a true gem, bringing joy and laughter to her foster home with her boundless puppy energy and hilarious personality. Her DNA mix—45% American Staffordshire Terrier, 20% American Pit Bull Terrier, 19% Beagle, 13% Boston Terrier, 2% Bulldog, and 1% Boxer—gives her a unique blend of spunk and sweetness. She loves people, showering them with kisses and seeking out laps for snuggles. Her playful “fights” with her sister (who often pins her due to Aurora’s smaller size) and her Chewbacca-like bark add to her charm. While she’s still working on potty training, leash walking, and manners, Aurora is a quick learner and eager to please.
Aurora hasn’t met kids or cats yet, but she plays well with other dogs, especially those who match her rowdy energy or are patient with her puppy antics. She thrives on human attention and would be happy as an only dog or with a playful canine buddy. Her journey from uncertain beginnings to a confident, thriving puppy is a testament to her resilience and loving nature.
Ideal Home
Aurora would flourish in a home ready for the joys and challenges of puppyhood. She needs an active family or individual who can provide plenty of stimulation, playtime, and love. A home with a playful or patient dog could work, but Aurora’s true love is her people. She’d thrive in an environment with space to burn off her energy and plenty of laps for snuggling. Owners should be prepared to continue her training to help her become a well-mannered adult dog.
