TJ

 Hi there! My name is TJ, and I'm a handsome little Maltese x Jack Russell Terrier with a curious nose, a gentle nature and plenty of personality packed into my little body! 🐶💕

Now, I might be a little shy when we first meet, but don't let that fool you! Once I've had a chance to get to know you, my affectionate side starts to shine. I'll happily approach for some pats, lean into your hand and greet you with a lovely wagging tail. I'm not one to demand attention all day, though — I enjoy a nice balance between spending time with my people and doing my own thing. 🥰

Sometimes new people and unfamiliar situations can make me a little unsure, so I appreciate having time and space to build my confidence. That's why I'm looking for a home with children aged 6 years and older, who can understand when I need a little breathing room and let me make friends at my own pace.

When it comes to other dogs, I prefer to keep my distance rather than jump straight into making friends. I'd be much happier in a single-dog household, where I can enjoy my own space and be the only little furry companion in the family. 🐾 I'm still learning about the big wide world, and sometimes I'll look to my favourite humans for reassurance when something catches me off guard. With a little patience, gentle encouragement and a predictable routine, I'm hoping to become more confident with every new adventure!

If you're looking for a sweet, slightly shy little explorer who loves a good sniff, enjoys affection once we're friends and has plenty of love to share, then I might just be your perfect match!

Love, TJ 💙🐾
