C.J. Best Smile is that rare combination of gentle, resilient, and full of playful spirit. After being surrendered years ago, C.J. captured the hearts of shelter volunteers with his steady temperament and his knack for obedience—he’ll show off his "sit," "down," "drop it," and "heel," and probably a few more he’s collected along the way. His story hasn’t been easy. Shuffled from place to place, C.J. faced more than his share of neglect, but that hasn’t dimmed the light in him. You’ll see it flash across his face when a ball comes out, or when you take a second to praise or toss him a treat—he practically dances with happiness. C.J. may take a minute to warm up, but once you make it into his circle, expect a cuddly friend with a gift for making the ordinary feel special. He’s looking for a home to be a true companion, not just a pet. Let C.J. bring his joy, hope, and loyal heart into your life. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
