PJ arrived at NCCR on 1/18/25, rescued from an overcrowded shelter to give her a better chance. She is an approximately 10-month-old spayed female mixed breed weighing around 30 lbs. Her breed mix is guessed to include German Shepherd and Shar Pei. She still has a little growing left to do, and is expected to reach at least 50 lbs. full-grown. PJ loves to play with other dogs, but has shown a desire to guard and steal food & toys, a behavior which will require careful management of her environment combined with ongoing training to correct the issue if she is going to live with another dog. She is very friendly with people and loves to play fetch. As with all young dogs, she will need ongoing daily training to learn basic obedience skills and reinforce everything she learns, as well as lots of exercise and playtime, and plenty of patience and love to help her become the best dog she can be! If you can make a 12–13-year commitment to a puppy, check out PJ!
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
PJ is happy to be sponsored by Susane Berg, Suzanne, Tillie Mae and Mimzie in memory of Bron Bron, Chelsea Barber, Heath Forster, Tina and James McCroskey and Henry Leworthy. Thank you so much!
