About Dojo

Meet Dojo, a handsome Malamute mix who shows that age doesn’t define spirit. He came to the shelter as a stray, initially thought to be around ten years old due to some stiffness and a calm demeanor. However, after receiving treatment for a thyroid disorder and overcoming Ehrlichia, he has become lively and playful. Dojo is incredibly social, loves people, and gets along well with other dogs. True to his breed, he’s also quite talkative, offering delightful conversations that keep everyone entertained. Dojo is fully house-trained, neutered, and up-to-date on all vaccinations, including a recent dental surgery that has rejuvenated him. He thrives in a loving environment. If you're interested in welcoming this amazing boy into your home, consider starting the adoption process today.
