Introducing the incredible Johnny! 💖 This brave heart faced some tough times when he first arrived, all hurt and scared, like a warrior with a hidden story. Can you imagine? A little guy growling when touched, unable to let anyone near his ears. But then, like a sunrise breaking through the clouds, everything changed! ☀️ Johnny underwent surgery to remove a painful toe that turned out to be cancerous. Luckily, our wonderful vet cleared it all up, and now there’s hope shimmerin’ in his eyes! With the pain behind him, the real Johnny began to blossom! 🌸 Just picture this: one fine morning, before the store even opened, Johnny was out in the parking lot, running and playing alongside Minerva, the service dog of one of our staff members. The sheer joy of watching him move freely again was something that melted our hearts! 🥰 He has forged deep bonds with his caregivers, recognizing his favorite staff members by sight and sound. Can you believe it? This pup, once hesitant to be touched, now lets folks clean his ears with the trust of a true friend. That’s the power of love and comfort! 🥹💞 But here's the bittersweet part—Johnny is lonely. He doesn’t want to spend his days cooped up in a kennel; he craves a home where he can be loved! Imagine him by your side, a little older yet so playful, ready to be the sidekick of a calm and gentle dog who would appreciate a partner in fun! 🐾 Johnny doesn’t need perfection—he simply needs YOU! A cozy couch, a friendly routine, and a promise that you'll cherish him for who he is today, not just for how much time he has left. Let’s give this beautiful soul the best part of his life! His adoption fee includes vaccines, spay/neuter surgery, microchipping, and a heartworm test. If a positive heartworm test occurs, treatment is available through our Fix-A-Heart Program. Just a little note, the adopter must purchase a year’s supply of heartworm prevention before starting treatment. Get ready to open your heart and home to Johnny!
