Here's Your Quick Peek:

CJ is a happy, affectionate, playful little Shih Tzu who absolutely loves people! He's friendly from the moment you meet him, enjoys playing with toys and other dogs, and is convinced that being adorable should earn him plenty of attention. This sweet, goofy boy would love nothing more than to become the center of someone's world!

Please Note: Carolina Poodle Rescue requires a meet and greet where everyone living in the home - all people and all dogs - will come to our farm to meet dogs. This is non-negotiable. Please do not apply if you and your family can't make this commitment.

Must have: A loving family who wants an affectionate, playful companion and will include CJ in everyday life. He thrives on attention and companionship.

Exercise: CJ loves to run, play with toys, and romp with canine friends. Regular walks and playtime will keep him happy. He also knows when it's time to settle down and relax.

Best with: An active, affectionate family who enjoys interacting with their dog. Another playful small dog would be wonderful, although CJ would also be happy receiving plenty of human attention.

Not ideal for: A household where he would spend most of his time alone or have little opportunity to play and interact. CJ wants to be part of the family!

Energy level: Moderate. CJ enjoys energetic play sessions but settles nicely afterward.

CJ was found as a stray and taken in by a rescue organization that helps dogs find appropriate rescue placements. After his stray-hold period ended without his owners coming forward, he joined Carolina Poodle Rescue.

We believe CJ has known love. He's comfortable with people, greets strangers enthusiastically, and seems to expect affection as a normal part of life.

CJ enjoys other small dogs and loves toys, especially games that involve a little rough-and-tumble fun. But people are his favorite! He would love a family who makes him an important part of their lives.

Good with dogs: Yes! He enjoys playing with small dogs, both male and female. His interactions with large dogs have not yet been fully evaluated.

Good with kids: Unknown. We would prefer an adult-oriented home until we know more about his experience with children.

Cats: Testing pending.

Fun fact: CJ knows how to sit pretty! He'll stand up and beg for attention, showing off just how irresistible a little Shih Tzu can be.

CJ is looking for someone who wants a companion for life's everyday adventures - a little playtime, a little laughter, and a whole lot of love!
