Meridian Pet of the Week: CJ

CJ, 4, is a medium sized spayed Rottweiler and Australian Sheppard mix who was returned to the shelter for being nippy with the children. She does have some herding tendencies so may not be a fit with the younger crowd. CJ exhibits stellar social behavior with dogs of all ages, sizes and demeanor. She knows sit and drops to that position if there’s even a hint of a treat involved. CJ’s affectionate and gentle and accepts full body handling and sits at the kennel door to be leashed for a walk. It’s reported she’s great with all kinds of animals and has been around children of all ages. CJ is a bit overweight, easy keeper, so could use some solid exercise every day. We encourage you to bring in the whole family, four legged too, for a meet and greet. CJ also loves to play fetch with a tennis ball. Please stop in see her 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily at 191 N. Linder Road in Meridian or call 794-0944 if you have questions. www.meridianvalleyhumanesociety.org
