Almond Joy

What my friends at OHS say about me:

• Hello! I'm Almond Joy, but my friends call me AJ!
• I have been working with the Behavior team at OHS and I'm looking for a special home. It will take time and patience to get to know me. Click the "meet me" button to start the process and schedule an appointment.
• To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.
• I love to learn! You can use my favorite toys or treats as positive reinforcement and to teach me new things. I already know some basic cues such as sit, down, stay, and walking nicely on leash!
• I can't wait to show my new family how playful I am! Playing really helps me come out of my shell and it's a great way for us to bond. Stuffies and squeaky type of toys are my favorite!
• I am used to living an active lifestyle! I would love to get up and go adventure with you. Hikes, Runs, and trips to the beach all sound like a grand time to me! On leash of course.
• High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.
• Resource Guarding: I think toys are really exciting and sometimes I want to keep them all for myself.
• I am a friendly, happy, goofball who is sure to make you smile!

The type of home I'm looking for:

• I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
• I need to go to a home without small children. I may accidently knock them over or try to steal their toys in my excitement.
• It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.
