Like all young dogs, Dee Jay loves his activity, including walks and playing with his toys (he's a huge fan of chasing and playing with balls- his foster says he thinks he's a soccer player), but also is able to take naps and lie around. He is also a silly guy, and likes to lay down while eating his food. He is a very sweet boy, and would do well in an active home with lots of outings and adventures. He is currently fostered in a home without a yard, and the foster family feels that he would benefit from space to roam around and get his zoomies out. He is dog and people friendly, but is still working on not jumping up on people to say hello. Dee Jay is house trained and takes his treats very gently. He knows commands like sit, down, and stay. He loves belly rubs and is looking for a family that is committed to exercise, training, and socialization to help him grow into the best dog possible. Prior to his current foster, Dee Jay and his sister landed at a local shelter at just a year old.  When their “family” didn’t reclaim them, Dee Jay’s sister was adopted by a member of the public. Sadly Dee Jay was left behind for some unexplained reason. At the shelter Dee Jay quickly became a volunteer favorite and the “dog greeter” for the new scare dogs entering the shelter system.  But like all dogs in the shelter, even Dee Jay overstayed his time there and became “at risk” for euthanasia solely due to the shelter’s space needs. When we heard about Dee Jay we knew we had to act.  Dee Jay is now safe with us and ready to find a real family this time around.   If Dee Jay sounds like the right dog for your family email dogs@labradorsandfriends.org or fill out our online application at www.labradorsandfriends.org  Dee Jay is located in Southern California.
