About Johnny

Little Johnny is a unique and adorable mutt, weighing just 10 lbs. He’s thought to be a mix of Dachshund and Boston Terrier, featuring a long body, short legs, and a charming squished face. After a rough start where he was found abandoned in a Texas parking lot, he has come to life in his foster home in Colorado. At first, he was confused and scared, but he quickly formed a bond with his foster family. Johnny is incredibly sweet and affectionate, needing a loving home that can reciprocate his affection. He gets along well with other dogs but tends to be more at ease with cats, often showing a playful side with them. While he does fine with children, older kids would suit him best given his timid nature. Johnny is searching for stability and security in a forever home where he can flourish. If you're ready to provide this loving little guy with the home he deserves, please fill out the adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com.
