About D.J.

Meet D.J., a sweet and sensitive boy with a heart full of love waiting to be discovered. D.J. and his seven siblings were found huddled together, scared and alone, but with time and care, they transformed into playful pups. D.J. is still a bit timid, especially in the busy shelter environment, but he dreams of a calm and kind home where he can truly blossom. He adores other dogs and would thrive with a confident canine companion to show him the ropes. He's a medium-sized adult, estimated to weigh around 45 lbs, and his gentle nature makes him a wonderful candidate for a quiet home without young children.

Ideal Home

D.J. would do best in a quieter home environment, ideally without young children, where he can feel safe and secure. He also thrives with the company of other dogs and would benefit from having a confident canine friend in the home.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions or procedures are mentioned in his description.

Training & Support

D.J. is a bit shy and needs patience and kindness to build trust. He learns well from other dogs, so having a confident canine friend would be very beneficial for his continued development.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
  • Approved adopters are matched with flight companions traveling from Puerto Vallarta.
  • You will meet your new pup at the airport to welcome them home.
  • It can be challenging to secure Canadian flight companions during the summer, so dogs may need to fly into the US and be picked up at Peace Arch Park at the border if a Canadian flight companion is unavailable. Volunteers have successfully helped bring dogs to adopters at the border during these times.

Transporation

D.J. is located in Puerto Vallarta and can be transported to approved adopters via flight companions. If a Canadian flight companion is unavailable during the summer, transport to the US border (Peace Arch Park) may be an option.
