Meet Cj, the loyal heart who just needs a touch of kindness and a sprinkle of patience to truly thrive! This 2-year-old, 22-pound sweetheart is waiting for that special someone to show him the beauty of trust, and boy, does he have some potential! 🌟 Cj comes from a past where kindness wasn’t always the norm, leaving him a bit cautious around new faces. Now, he’s protective of his loved ones and home, but don’t worry! Once you earn his trust (and oh, he is worth every bit of your effort!), you’ll find yourself with a deeply devoted companion who just wants to snuggle up by your side. 🐾❤️ Now, Cj is not just looking for any home; he needs a haven with specific vibes: - A calm, patient, dog-savvy adoptee (sorry, no young kiddos here!). 👶🚫 - Someone experienced with shy, fearful, or protective pups — the type who can shower Cj with the love he’s been missing. 💖 - A safe, structured environment where he can relax and take his time decompressing. 🏡 - Routine, reassurance, and lots of understanding — how wonderful it is to help our four-legged friends feel safe! 🙌 - A fenced-in yard is a must for this timid darling! 🏞️🚧 In a crate, Cj does wonderfully and gets along well with other dogs. Once he connects with you, he turns into the most delightful little shadow, always close by and filled with love! If you possess the heart, patience, and experience to guide Cj on his healing journey, he will repay you with unwavering loyalty for a lifetime. 🥰 Fostered in Bloomfield Hills, MI, Cj is just waiting for his forever home.
