My name is
TJ!

TJ is 6 years young and he is a sweet, shy, sensitive Velcro boy. He has been living with a female fur-sister. They enjoy running in the yard together but when it comes to inside snuggle times with Dad, TJ wants his time and space for this.  His first owner was a hunter who passed away. Then he went to another hunting kennel where it was determined that TJ is NOT a hunter and they contacted rescue to find him a non-hunting home as a pet/family member. 

TJ is looking for a calmer, quiet home. Another active dog for him to run with would be ideal and would help him settle into a new home. He’s never been an only dog so he would want a person that is mostly home if you don’t have another dog. Young children make him nervous so definitely a quieter home without kids. He is affectionate and appreciates cuddles and physical assurances that everything is ok. 

TJ needs a home with a secure physically fenced yard that is large enough and interesting for him to run/work/explore/play with another active dog buddy. We’ve always had him in 6 foot privacy fencing and we aren’t sure how he would do in shorter fencing. His foster Dad says “he is lightning fast” and needs a home where doors and gates are kept closed and secure. He has a typical prey drive for an field ES and has never lived with cats so we do not expect him to be safe with cats.  

TJ has adapted to being a house dog well. He is eager to learn, wants to please and is treat motivated. Are you the home that TJ is waiting for?
