a.k.a. Big Country. All chest, no legs.
An 11-year-old mastiff mix and certified Canine Good Citizen who has done the work and is ready for his person.
What comes with Cjay
Covered for as long as he lives, wherever you are.
His medical care is paid for. You never have to weigh cost against his health.
Free sessions with his trainer, plus ongoing support so you know everything Cjay knows.
Cjay has a group of people invested in him who are on call to help his new family.
New handlers have learned his routine in about a week. Once you know it, keeping it up is just part of the day. No expensive board-and-train required; he has already finished one.
His story
Cjay spent his first seven or so years as someone's best friend. Then something happened that we will never know about, and he landed in a shelter with scars on his legs, scared and defensive. A rescue pulled him and later walked away from all of its dogs, leaving Cjay stuck again.
For about the past year he has been in a board-and-train program with a trainer who taught him to enjoy life again. He earned his Canine Good Citizen title, went from being afraid of a baby French bulldog to playing with dogs he trusts, and now gets compliments on his manners everywhere he goes, including the mall.
His trainer is moving to a facility-based model. We don't want Cjay spending his senior years in boarding. He needs his person, and we need to find them soon.
“Now, he’s like a kid who never outgrew his favorite stuffed animal, he’s always seeking connection and giving his whole heart.”

Who he is
Fetch is his favorite thing in the world. He also loves early-morning bike rides, long walks, hikes and open fields.
Just as happy settling in for TV night. He knows “place” and stays off the couch unless you invite him up, which he would love.
He figured out that high fives earn treats, so now he offers them on repeat.
In his view there is no such thing as a bad belly rub. He'll roll in a patch of grass like he found treasure.
His love language is snacks. Bar french fries, In-N-Out, the occasional celebratory steak bone.
Happiest with the breeze in his face, just glad to be along for the ride.
