JJ

My story

Meet JJ – Your High-Energy Playmate in Training! &#226&#154&#161 JJ is a 1-year-old Lab mix bursting with energy, personality, and potential! He’s crate trained, housebroken, and always ready for action — especially if there’s a tennis ball involved. This guy lives to play ball, chew on his bones, and romp around with his toys. JJ  is still learning how to settle down and relax, so he’s not quite the snuggly type yet — but with time, patience, and the right structure, he has every chance of becoming a loyal and loving companion. He’s looking for an experienced family who can help guide him, provide consistent training, and give him the mental and physical stimulation he needs to thrive. A secure, fenced-in yard is a must — JJ has lots of energy to burn and needs room to run and play safely. He gets along with other dogs and would likely love a playful dog sibling to match his energy! That said, JJ’s enthusiastic style of play isn't for every pup, so any resident dog should be able to handle a bouncy buddy. If you're an active household looking for a fun, smart, energetic companion with tons of potential, JJ might just be your perfect match. With the right guidance, this high-octane goofball is going to make someone a very happy (and very well-exercised) best friend If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  .
