About Oj

OJ, also known as Obama Jackson, is a delightfully big teenager with a soft heart who loves snuggles. He’s spent much of his young life in a shelter, so he’s still figuring out home life, but his foster family sees a playful and intelligent dog in him, full of potential. His favorite activities include playing with other dogs, fetching, and soaking up both outdoor time and close moments with his people. He thrives alongside well-mannered canine companions and would do best in a home with another dog who loves to play and can assist in his ongoing learning. OJ has made strides in house training, crate skills, leash walking, and basic commands. He learns quickly, particularly when paired with experienced canines. However, his youth comes with challenges, including impulse control and the temptation of squirrels during play. His biggest hurdle is separation anxiety. He tends to experience severe distress when left alone, which may lead to unsafe behaviors like attempting to bolt from doors. With a consistent routine, he has been able to handle up to two and a half hours alone, but this needs to be rebuilt gradually in a new environment. OJ would thrive with a family that has a flexible schedule, patience, and a commitment to continuing his training. For those willing to invest in his growth, he brings tons of personality and affection. Make this lovable dog a part of your family!
