NEWARK, NJ – A large mixed-breed dog known as Dwayne Johnson, or “DJ,” is settling into foster life and waiting for a permanent home through the Associated Humane Societies in Newark.
DJ transitioned from a kennel environment to a foster home, where he has adjusted quickly to living indoors. His foster caregiver described him as affectionate and eager to bond with people.
According to shelter representatives, DJ is house trained and does not require a crate in the home. He responds to basic commands and has shown the ability to learn additional cues. Staff also report he is dog friendly and recently participated in a supervised play session with another family dog without issue.
Despite his size, DJ is described as gentle when interacting with people, toys, and treats. Shelter officials noted that because he may attempt to sit on laps, a home without small children is recommended.
Adoption application required to meet DJ
The Associated Humane Societies said interested adopters must first complete an adoption application before scheduling a meet-and-greet. The organization continues to place dogs through its foster care network while seeking permanent homes.
DJ’s profile lists him as dog friendly and comfortable in a household setting. Officials believe he could do well in a home with another compatible canine companion.
