About AJ’s Breed Mix:
Terrier mixes are known for their spirited personalities, loyalty, and cleverness. Though often small to medium in size, they have big hearts and love being part of the action—whether it’s playing outside or lounging indoors. AJ embodies the best of this breed type with his intelligence, relaxed nature, and affectionate personality. He’s a well-balanced companion ready for both adventure and downtime.

AJ’s Story & Personality:
AJ is the definition of an easy-going, lovable guy. He enjoys quiet moments by the window, watching the world go by, and takes joy in his daily walks where he can greet neighbors and explore his surroundings. He's a fan of routine, learning basic commands quickly, and adjusting to crate time with ease. While squirrels bring out his playful side (he thinks they’re the best game ever), indoors AJ is calm, quiet, and happy to soak up all the love his humans have to give. Whether you're looking for a dog to curl up with on the couch or one to accompany you on neighborhood strolls, AJ fits the bill perfectly.

  • A calm home where he can continue his training and enjoy companionship

  • A family that enjoys leisurely walks and relaxing evenings

  • A fenced yard is a bonus (great for watching squirrels!)
