About TJ
Meet TJ! He is your loyal companion in waiting! 🥰
He is a beautiful Husky Staffy mix boy who is searching for the loving forever home he truly deserves. 👍
Due to a change in his owner’s circumstances, TJ has been cared for with deep commitment over the past year — not in a traditional home, but through daily visits, walks, meals, and companionship from a dedicated friend who adores him. 💕
He is a well-mannered and gentle boy with a cheeky, playful streak. He’s been taught to wait patiently for his meals, responding to the commands “sit, wait, break” — the last one with a little wrist flick to let him know it’s time to eat. He takes treats softly from your hand and enjoys the comfort of clean blankets and fresh bedding. ✔
TJ’s favourite things? Tummy rubs, smooches, soft toys (which he proudly tosses around), and rolling on his back for attention. 🧸
When he drinks water and sometimes prefers to flip his food bowl and eat off the ground — a quirky habit that just adds to his charm. 💧
He’s great on the lead, especially with familiar walkers, and though he’s a big boy who doesn’t always realise his strength, he’s respectful and eager for connection. 🦮
He gets especially excited when he sees new people — lowering his head, tail wagging, hoping for a friendly pat. 🐾
TJ has never been around children or other dogs, so it’s important that any introductions be made slowly and carefully if they arise. 🐶
He has been used to one-on-one human companionship and may do best in a home where he is the only pet, receiving all the love and attention he’s missed. 🧡
Since moving temporarily to a bigger space with more stimulation (birds, people, and a balcony to roam), TJ has become more alert and curious. He’s been alone for a long time, so the new surroundings have brought out his excitable side. 🤪
TJ has a thick coat and doesn’t enjoy hot summer days, so he thrives in cooler weather and shaded spots. ⛄
He is also respectful of your space — he’ll wait at the door until invited in, showing just how thoughtful he really is. 👀
TJ is a loving, loyal boy looking for a calm, committed, and caring home where he can finally belong. Could that be with you? 🤞
He will need a home where he can hang out and sleep inside and have a well fenced yard. 🏡

Adoption details
We list animals for adoption on Pet Rescue as well as on our own Animals-in-Need-Brisbane website. We talk with people who contact about an animal to see what their needs and situation are. Our emphasis is on getting the right animal for the people and the right people for the animal. If everyone's needs are met things usually work out well.
Please note all our cats are indoor cats only.
If the situation sounds good we arrange a meeting. If all goes well we let people try the animal out for a couple of weeks to ensure that everyone is happy.
We keep records of all adopters, follow up to ensure all is well and undertake to take back any animal if circumstances change.
