Meet the wonderful MJ, ladies and gentlemen! This beautiful girl is around 4 and a half years old, weighing in at a delightful 38 pounds. Can you believe she’s a mixed breed, likely a charming combo of cattle dog and lab? Talk about the best of both worlds! 🎉 MJ has been part of a family since she was just nine months old, growing up with two adorable kids aged 6 and 9. Isn’t that fantastic? 😍 She's sweet, playful, and if you love snuggling, then prepare to be showered with affection! There's nothing quite like a cozy cuddle after a long day, and MJ is your girl for that! 🚗 She enjoys car rides like a pro, loves hitting the trails for walks and hikes, and don’t even get her started on fetch! She can go on longer runs than most of us—what a little athlete! Now, let’s chat about her nightly routine. MJ is house trained and happily sleeps in her crate at night; she’s independent enough to manage several hours alone while her current owners work outside the home. Oh, what a relief for busy families! However, she can be a bit of a nervous Nelly around loud noises like fireworks and thunder—who can blame her? An empathic soul, MJ takes some time to warm up, but she would be a fantastic addition to a loving home that can invest time in her little heart. MJ may puff her chest a bit when it comes to barking at visitors—talk about being protective! 🛡️ But with the right introduction and some patience, she quickly opens up to new faces. It's all about love and understanding, dear friends! 💖 Her previous family has been proactive, investing in in-home training, but alas, they just can’t provide the time she so richly deserves. They are heartbroken to let her go but hopeful for her bright future with a family that can devote time to her training and needs. MJ might do well with another doggie companion too, but for now, her compatibility with cats remains a mystery. 🐱 And while she has thrived with her current kids, a quieter home without young ones would be her ideal match unless you're ready to work through a little transition period. Could you be the one to give MJ the loving home she craves? To help her adjust, the current owners are even offering to cover the cost of a private training lesson! Now how amazing is that? 🌟 If you want to be part of MJ’s new chapter, please apply through the Buddy App—your future furry friend is waiting for you!
