CJ Shepherd & Hound Mix Batavia, IL

CJ is ready to be your new boyfriend! He loves long walks, true crime podcasts, cuddles and quiet nights watching netflix (when's the new Bridgerton season coming out?) Ok, ok, he's a dog, not a boyfriend. He takes treats very gently and he rarely pulls on walks. Sometimes I have to make sure he hasn't slipped his leash, that's how good he is! CJ is a shepherd mix, almost 2 years old, about 40 pounds. The perfect size pup, according to everyone he meets! He is ready to play with our resident cat and is curious about other dogs. CJ isn't really a barker, but it comes out occasionally. He sleeps all night, but will whine a little in his crate first thing. But, he calms down quickly. He likes kids and people in general, anyone who gives him pets is his friend. CJ is house trained. He is some kind of shepherd, so he gets your attention to go potty by herding you to the door. He is learning to play and loves his toys. He occasionally wants to chew on the wrong thing, but easily and happily redirects to his toys. He's going to be the best addition to your family!
