About Junior Joy

Junior Joy is a playful 6-month-old Jack Russell Terrier and Shih Tzu mix, currently waiting to be transported to New England. Rescued from a Tennessee home, he has plenty of love to give after living with his canine family and even being adored by children in his previous home. At just 12 pounds, this little guy enjoys playing with balls and toys, particularly tennis balls, and is always up for some snuggle time. Though he is still learning the ropes, he seems to enjoy crate time and will need some puppy training for leash walking, basic commands, and potty training. Junior gets along well with other dogs and kids, making him a great fit for a loving family. Plus, there are no additional travel costs for his long-distance adoption! All dogs, including Junior, are up to date on vaccinations and neutered upon adoption. If you're ready to add some joy to your home, consider giving Junior Joy a forever family today!
