Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Meet Aj—a loyal, young companion looking for a forever home after growing up in a loving foster environment. At about 1.5 years old and weighing 70 lbs, Aj is already neutered, fully vetted, and brings a lot to the table for anyone seeking a devoted, active, and clever pup. His temperament is calm and steady for his age, but he also thrives on play, adventure, and, most of all, connection with his people. Aj is a highly trainable dog who has mastered basic commands like Sit, Wait, and Drop it. He’s fully housebroken and crate-trained, eager to learn more, and especially responsive to positive reinforcement. Social and friendly with adults, Aj will do best as the only pet in a home, as he hasn’t been cat-tested and may give chase out of curiosity, not aggression. He enjoys long walks, yard time, and engaging activities involving treats—especially fruits and veggies! Aj’s ideal adopter is an active individual who can provide daily exercise and ongoing training, especially in stimulating environments. A home with outdoor space is important for his happiness, along with continued support as he navigates new experiences. After surviving life in a shelter system, Aj is resilient, gentle, and appreciative of a stable, loving home—ready to make his next chapter his best one yet. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
