My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This handsome guy is RJ! He came to Animal Friends as part of a transfer from another organization. Throughout the months RJ has been with us, he has shown us how intelligent and playful he is. While interacting with staff and volunteers, RJ has learned obedience commands, and would love to expand upon training in his new home. He loves having his daily enrichment time, and adopters should continue providing opportunities for him to sniff, solve puzzles, and more! RJ takes some time to warm up to new people, and may prefer to meet a few times before finally going home! RJ can go home to a family with children 13 years or older and can not live with any smaller mammals like cats or rabbits. RJ can be dog selective, and would prefer to go as a single dog; he might enjoy some canine friends, but not a roommate!

RJ is one of our Extra Loved residents. Although all our resident animals get plenty of love, many of them come from backgrounds where they may need a little extra care, extra attention, and extra patience. To help this special resident find their adoptive home, a generous donor has sponsored their adoption donation, to help them feel extra loved!

RJ is a part of our Foster-To-Adopt program, which means for 3 weeks our trainers here at Animal Friends will work with you and RJ on his behavior and positive reinforcement training to facilitate a gentle transition into his new home. He is the perfect example of our mission: to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome animals.
