Hi! I'm DJ, a 3 month old Labrador mix who came to HSSM on 8/09/2026 as Harrison County Animal Control stray. I was wandering all by myself, very tiny and alone. Now i am safe at HSSM.
I'm still a young pup with lots of love, personality, and potential to bring to a new family! I'm looking for someone who will help me learn, grow, and become the best companion I can be.
My adoption fee includes my neuter, up-to-date vaccinations, preventatives, microchip, a transition bag of food, and an engravable name tag-and, of course, a lifetime of love!
Ask about me and see if I'm the missing piece to your family!
DJ's $300 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccines, microchip AND transport fee to a location near you. We currently have transportation to CT, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA, GA, and TN. Please email transport@hssm.org for more information on transports!
