My name is BJ!

BJ needs a home where he is loved, gets care, and attention.
He is house trained and does not jump on furniture. Also likes gentle rubs and to play with his toys.
I fostered BJ from a neglectful home and he suffered from intense matting for lack of grooming. He was hesitant around people after being left in his kennel for extensive periods, only being let out to use the bathroom. I have taken a gentle approach, allowing him to slowly smell, play, and adjust to my home environment. If I sit on the floor, he lays next to me for rubs. Due to his background, he snapped once at me when putting on his collar. Now, I can take him on walks, car rides, and to the pet store. As a smaller dog, he does not like bigger dogs and has never been around cats. At almost 9 years old, BJ would do best in a home with a single person or with a couple that does not have children. BJ currently has a morning and evening meal and walks 3x a day.
