About Junior

Junior is a handsome young dog, weighing in at about 69 pounds. He and his father, Teddy, were brought to the NHSPCA from an overcrowded shelter in Texas. Growing up on a farm, Junior’s father guarded the property at night, but both were surrendered as their owner could no longer care for them. In his foster home, Junior has blossomed into an affectionate companion. He’s fully house trained, walks well on a leash, and is crate trained. He adores being close, often resting his head in laps for snuggles and sweet kisses. In outdoor spaces, he loves to zoom around, especially if a canine buddy is around to play chase! Junior gets along well with cats, showing respect for the feline residents. Although he can share space with other dogs, he prefers to eat alone due to some food-stealing antics from his dad. This minor quirk aside, he’s a joy to be around and is eager to find his forever home. Come meet Junior; he’s excited to become part of a loving family!
