Interested in adopting a pet — or just looking at some delightful doggies up for adoption? There are dozens of endearing dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Memphis.

Bugatti, American Staffordshire terrier mix

Bugatti is an adorable male American Staffordshire terrier mix currently residing at Streetdog Foundation.

He is already house-trained. He's already neutered, and he has had all his shots.

Bugatti's current caretakers say:

He is still very shy and hesitant when you first meet him so he would do best in a home where he is the only animal. He would also benefit from someone who has fostered or had hard cases before — who can accept his initial hesitance and work with him at his pace to help him open up and blossom.
