About Dj

Dj may be 6 years old, but in his heart, he’s still a playful pup. He loves running, playing fetch, and exploring the grass for anything interesting to chase. This big-hearted goofball adores everyone—people and dogs alike. His only quirk is an enthusiastic bark when he wants attention, but that’s a small price for such a friendly companion. Dj is great with kids and knows his basic commands. He is both kennel trained and house trained. When he arrived, he had a rough time with a flea infestation that resulted in some shaved patches of hair. Thankfully, he is completely flea-free now, and his fur is coming back in nicely, albeit with a few small bald spots left. If you can see past those small imperfections, you'll find an amazing dog. Dj has already been neutered, which makes him a great fit for your family. If you’re interested in welcoming Dj into your home, get in touch to set up a meeting!
