DJ - Labrador Retriever and Chow Chow Dog for Adoption in Santa Rosa, California

Meet DJ, a 5-year-old labrador mix with the greatest grin. DJ personality is absolutely glowing. He walks into every room tail wagging and eager to make friends. He has a perpetual smile (sometimes smirk) due to a previously untreated jaw injury–he has a look about him that occasionally says, “You talkin’ to me?” and honestly, he really hopes you are because he’s as gregarious as they come. DJ has a youthful spirit about him and still needs to learn some manners such as how to walk on leash, but what he lacks in manners he more than makes up in love. DJ is ready to put a smile on your face for all the rest of his days.
