About Dodgeball
š Meet Dodgeball ā the Big Softie With an Even Bigger Heart! š
Dodgeball is the largest pup of the litterāsolid, strong, and already showing off the kind of sturdy blue cattle dog x staffy build that will grow into a medium, muscular, impressively handsome adult. But donāt let his size fool you: this boy is an absolute marshmallow. Heās the smoochiest, sweetest cuddlebug of them all, happiest when pressed against you, giving slow blinks and soaking up affection.
Heās cheeky, curious, and full of playful energy, but compared to his siblings, Dodgeball has a softer, more gentle presence. Heās brave and confident, but he leads with his heart firstāaffectionate, people-focused, and always looking for a lap (regardless of whether he technically fits on it).
Like any working-dog cross, Dodgeball will need ongoing training, consistent socialisation, and plenty of appropriate outlets to keep that brain and body satisfied. Heās bright, heās eager, and heās already showing signs of being a wonderfully trainable young dog.
Dodgeball is:
- The biggest of the litterāand the biggest softie
- Incredibly smoochy, affectionate, and people-oriented
- Playful, cheeky, and curious about everything
- Confident without being over the top
- Medium-energy with classic working-dog enthusiasm
- Smart, eager to learn, and improving his puppy manners every day
Heās been beautifully socialised in care and shows enormous potential. With positive reinforcement and ongoing enrichment, heāll mature into a capable, calm, well-rounded adult.
š” Dodgeballās Ideal Home
Dodgeball needs a home that understands working-dog mixes and can provide structure, stimulation, and consistent training. He will thrive in an environment that gives him both tasks and cuddles.
Heād thrive with:
- A friendly dog companion or as an only dog with engaged humans
- Daily enrichment, puppy school, and confidence-building experiences
- A secure yard/courtyard suited to a medium, strong, active dog
- A family who appreciates both his gentle nature and his playful side
š¦ Suitability to Children
Dodgeball would do well with respectful, dog-savvy kids aged 8+ who can enjoy his affectionate personality while understanding the needs of a growing, solid pup.
š¶ Suitability to Other Pets
Heās social and enjoys the company of other dogs, especially those who match his energy and confidence level.
He hasnāt met cats yet, but with proper, gradual introductions, he may adapt well.
šš¾ Ready to Fall for This Big Smooch Machine?
Dodgeball is looking for a family whoāll adore his mix of strength and softness, invest in his training, and give him all the affection heās eager to offer in return.
If youāre ready for a loving, playful companion whoās equal parts sturdy and snugglyāDodgeball is your boy.

Our foster carer will contact you when we receive your application to arrange a time for you to meet with their foster pet.
We want your adoption through Maggie's to be a good experience so we will occasionally suggest a different cat or dog that may suit your situation better and the needs of the individual pet.
All our pets leave for their new homes on a two-week trial. At the end of the trial, we will transfer the microchip into your name and provide you with the pets vet certificates. Once you receive the Certificate of Identification from council, your adoption will be complete.
