About Goji

Meet Goji, your next professional snuggle buddy. If you're searching for a sweet, smart girl who thinks cuddling is a full-time job, Goji might just be the one for you. This lovely, 3-year-old Pit Mix found her way to us after spending two and a half years with her family. Due to some anxiety stemming from a difficult home life, her family made the tough choice to surrender her. Goji is ready for a fresh start with someone who understands that the sweetest dogs often just need a bit more patience and security. When it comes to affection, Goji has an abundance to share. She's a certified snuggle bug who loves to be close to her people, soaking up all the attention. A smart girl, she's housetrained, knows basic commands, and walks nicely on a leash. She enjoys playing fetch, bringing a fun and playful side to those cuddle sessions. Goji is crate-trained and a consistent routine will help her feel more comfortable, especially when left alone. She would do best as the only dog in the home, as she hasn't lived with other dogs. Although indifferent to cats, a child-free, calm environment will suit her best, allowing her to settle in at her own pace. Goji already has so many wonderful qualities to build on—she's affectionate, clever, and eager to please. With structure and someone to help her work through her anxiety, she has immense potential to be a loving companion. Goji is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm-negative, and microchipped, ready to start a new chapter. If you have a child-free home, no other dogs, and a heart full of love for a cuddly girl who deserves another chance, Goji is eager to meet you. Give this sweet girl the loving home where she can relax, feel secure, and bring joy to her next family. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
