CJ

Hi, I’m CJ! I'm a 2-year-old, 13 lb Shih Tzu mix with a gentle heart and a friendly, playful vibe. While I still enjoy playtime and fun, I’m more of a go-with-the-flow kind of guy, happy to take life one moment at a time. My tail wags a ton and I LOVE people.<br/><br/>I’m sweet, affectionate, and really enjoy companionship. I’ve had a lot of new experiences recently and am enjoying my time at the sanctuary, playing with other small dogs and exploring new places.<br/><br/>I’m learning all the important skills: walking on a leash, visiting the groomer, and navigating new routines. I’m crate trained and sleep through the night without having accidents in my kennel. I am currently unneutered and mark often, but after my neuter on January 20th, this behavior should decrease significantly. I’ll do best with a family who can offer consistency, gentle guidance, and positive reinforcement for pottying outside.<br/><br/>I’d thrive in a home with fewer dogs and a quieter environment, where I can soak up love, enjoy playtime at my own pace, and form a strong bond with my people. A family with rescue experience would be ideal, especially one that understands how important patience and structure are for dogs who are still learning about the world.<br/><br/>I've had my first round of adult vaccinations, have been dewormed, am heartworm negative, and am on heartworm preventative. I will be neutered and microchipped on January 20th and will be available to bring home 5 days later.
