About Junior

Meet Junior! Look at that sweet face! Junior is one of the Guadalupe 18 and he’s slowly learning what life outside his previous home can be like. He is quite undersocialized and timid, making the world feel pretty overwhelming for him. He needs a family ready to invest the time and patience needed to help him build trust and confidence at his own pace. Junior is good with other dogs but has had experiences where he was often picked on by the others where he lived. A home with a friendly, confident canine companion would be ideal to show him the ropes and help him understand that life can be enjoyable. A calmer household without small children would suit him best. He deserves a space where he can feel safe, settle in, and learn to trust the people around him. There’s so much he has to discover about the world, and we believe he deserves that chance. Junior’s journey began when he was rescued along with 17 others from a challenging environment. These dogs were undersocialized and knew little beyond life together as a pack. Thankfully, the team at AZK9 stepped in to offer them the structure and socialization they desperately needed. Junior did arrive with a health issue called entropion, where his eyelids turned inward causing irritation. Luckily, he has had surgery and is now seeing just fine! Think you might be able to give Junior the loving home he deserves? Your new best friend is just a click away!
