About Junior

Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you. Years after being in his home, Junior’s people suddenly became allergic to him—or at least, that was the reason given for leaving him at the county shelter. Alone and scared, Junior’s spirits sank as he watched countless others get adopted, his hope fading with each passing day, a true case of "black dog syndrome." But Junior is still full of love and life! He’s a loyal boy who adores going out for ice cream—Bruster’s and Pelicans are his favorite spots. After indulging in his sweet tooth, he often enjoys relaxing at home with his favorite pal, Katie. Junior truly excels in a home environment, being both well-mannered and house trained. He’s incredibly loving and ready to become someone’s best companion. Junior would thrive as the only dog in the home and prefers the company of older children. If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate friend, Junior is ready to give you all the loyalty you could ever ask for! Start your journey together! Apply now.
