Kuma and @shannonmalone13
Hello, I'm Kuma, named after the Japanese word for bear. I'm a 4 year old, well-behaved, blue nose American Staffordshire-Terrier mix. I was rescued by my parents Shannon & Josh from the Venice Beach boardwalk at 3 months old.

He loves the water and everything about it, except for a bath as any...
