About Aj

AJ is a 9-year-old, 55-pound mix with an unexpected genetic twist—he’s half Chihuahua, half Retriever. He’s a champ on the leash and just as content lounging next to you as he is sprawled out on a dog bed. AJ understands basic sign language commands. Popcorn and peanut butter are guaranteed to make his tail wag, and he’s a fan of yogurt and all kinds of dog snacks. House training is second nature to him; he signals you with a nudge and a soft moo when it’s time to go out. Baths aren’t his favorite, but he puts up little resistance. After time outdoors or a trip to the bathroom, expect a round of the zoomies and maybe a quick tug-of-war, but mostly he prefers a calm, laid-back lifestyle. AJ will thrive in a peaceful home, ideally adults-only or with older teens (13+). Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
