Hi there! My name is PJ. I’m a handsome young bachelor looking for a forever. Yes, I’m still technically a puppy but hey, you have to start young when there is so much competition out there. Am I right?!
They tell me I’m a cattle dog, but I don’t have any cattle. Do you?! Probably not. So let’s start this relationship out with common ground – we’re a match. Neither of us have cattle!
Basically, I’m a super happy dude that loves you to pieces once I’ve gotten to know you. After I get out all my excitement, I’ll follow you around and lay by your feet. I’ve had some play dates with other dogs and I can tell you, I’m a party guy. The more people the better (well, the more dogs), unless the people are into playing fetch with me. Because I l-o-v-e some fetch! If I’m honest, I love bones and Kongs too but I don’t have to chase those.
It will take me a little bit of time to get to know you. If a stranger comes into the house, I’ll be sure to tell you about that and everyone in ear shot. So maybe shared walls might be sketchy. I’m working on my excitement around that but you know, being I’m still a puppy, there are lots of “work in progress” things.
I’m mostly potty trained but I do dribble when I’m excited or during meeting new people. But I am crate-trained and know lots of commands: sit, down, come, stay, leave it and go potty! So I’ve been busy here at the foster home and they sure are nice to help me learn these things. I’m working on walking on a leash now so I won’t need a fenced yard. We don’t do it everyday but I think it’d be great to do with you! Just make sure I have a harness.
I can be an only dog also. Not sure if I have a preference on size. I have been around kids under 12 and I’m doing just fine. I even listen well when I’ve taken a toy or shoe that isn’t mine, when they tell me to leave it or drop it - I do!
Well, that’s all I have from this side. Can’t wait to learn more about you!
**Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!
This puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void. We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.
Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee. Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application.
We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward.
