Meet Woody

Meet Woody! A lovable seven-and-a-half-year-old Beagle/American Staffordshire Terrier mix currently in Brooklyn, NY, whose golden and white coat is matched only by his heart of gold and larger-than-life personality. Weighing 65 pounds, Woody is a people-loving sweetheart who believes personal space is overrated. His favorite way to show affection? Sitting directly on your lap! Affectionately known as the "Mayor of Greenpoint," Woody makes friends everywhere, from neighborhood shopkeepers to crossing guards. His enthusiastic tail slaps and hilarious Chewbacca-like greetings make every reunion memorable! Woody loves long walks, riverside relaxation, hiking, and cuddling after an adventure. He's equally enthusiastic about lazy afternoons and peanut butter snacks! Smart and wonderfully trained, he knows sit, heel, spin, high five, and more. His excellent leash manners and reliable recall make exploring together a joy. Sitters describe him as a delightful companion, while dog camp counselors praise his playful spirit and affection. Woody also has some important needs. He experiences severe separation anxiety, including trembling, crying, and paw licking when left alone. He needs a patient, experienced family with someone home most of the time, along with continued behavioral support and a safe routine. Although Woody adores people, he needs to be the only animal in his new loving home. He can become uncomfortable around unfamiliar dogs, particularly in close spaces. His compatibility with cats is unknown. Woody also needs an adult-only home or one with respectful children over 12. He has shown escalating concerning behavior toward a crawling baby without an identified trigger. Although he has never bitten anyone, careful management is essential. Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, house-trained, and crate-trained, Woody is ready for a thoughtful next chapter with people who appreciate his affectionate nature, playful energy, and individual needs.
