Jon Jon

JonJon (JJ) is a very sweet 3-year old, 50 pound Lab/Hound mix, neutered male. He is a great house dog with excellent house manners. He is eager to please, well behaved, house and crate-trained. He knows how to sit, come, lay down and ‘wait’. JJ is wonderful and gentle with children of all ages, especially with small children 3 years old or older. He is in excellent physical condition and should have daily exercise. He loves playing fetch, chasing and catching balls, retrieving Frisbees, and playing tug of war with you, or with another dog. He gets along well with non-aggressive dogs. He would love an active dog companion, but would also be gentle and considerate with an older dog. He is not recommended for a home with cats. JJ is a Special Needs dog. His condition is analogous to OCD in humans. He sometimes feels compelled to chase moving objects such as small animals, cars, bikes, and birds. This tendency is aggravated by stress, and may cause him to become frustrated and excited. He is currently receiving medication but there is a good chance it could be discontinued once he felt secure in a permanent loving home. JJ desperately needs someone special with a big heart to love him, patience to understand him, and commitment to care for him for the rest of his life. He will repay you with a love that is beyond words.
