Candy’s Story
Candy, an American Staffordshire Terrier, arrived at Castoff Pet Rescue in Blairsville, GA, in October 2022 and has waited nearly 3 years for her forever family. Found with a heart full of love, this black-and-white beauty endures shelter life, her sassy spirit shining through zoomies and snuggles. Not suited for other animals, she’s a one-and-only girl who thrives with teens 13+ but finds younger kids too much.
At 09:54 AM EDT on October 5, 2025, her urgent need for a home is clear. A Pets for Patriots eligible dog, Candy’s ready to be a veteran’s battle buddy, seeking a patient owner to give her the adventures and love she’s dreamed of for 1,095 days.
Ideal Home
Candy would thrive in a patient, adult-focused home with a securely fenced yard for her zoomies and walks. She’s best for someone who enjoys active play, treats, and snuggles, with compatibility for teens 13+ but no younger kids, other dogs, or cats. A rural or suburban setting in Blairsville or nearby, with space for her energy and a cozy couch, will make Candy’s long-awaited homecoming complete.
