Story
Hi, I’m BJ! I'm 12-years-old with a cute face and big ears that turn heads everywhere I go. I know basic commands like sit, lie down, shake, and I (almost always) come when called. I do bark, but only when there’s something worth noting! Thanks to a Senior Pet Adoption Assistance Grant from Petfinder, my adoption fee is waived, and funds are also provided to reimburse limited post-adoption expenses to help me settle in. WOW!
We learned from the vet that I am Lyme-positive. He gave me two injections and that straightened me out for the foreseeable future. The good news is that I have the chronic type rather than the active type and I am healthy and symptom-free. I love toys and playing ball. And guess what? I hardly shed at all!
People are always surprised by my youthful energy. I’m very popular at the dog park; I’m cordial with both the dogs and their parents and run to greet all the new entrants. Outside the park, though, I can be leash reactive because I take my job of guarding my person very seriously.
Speaking of my person…I think all people belong to me! That’s where I run into trouble in a home with another dog—I get jealous. And don’t even get me started on cats—they really get me revved up! Because of this, my SDRO friends think I’d do best as the only pet.
I’m a happy, curious guy who loves being by your side—so watch your step, I’m always nearby! I have some herding dog traits, so staying active keeps me at my best. When you leave, I might bark and whine, but I always settle down. At night, I sleep great—especially if I get to snuggle up with you. I am excitable in the car, but we're working on it. My dream house has a big backyard with lots of room to run. If you are looking for a loving, fun, and devoted best friend, I might be the one for you.
