Johnny Boy would thrive best with a patient and understanding family who will let him take his time to settle in. He must meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit. If you think you could provide a loving space for this wonderful boy, Johnny Boy is here, ready to find his forever home! To adopt or foster Johnny Boy, you’ll need to visit Pima Animal Care Center to meet with a counselor and discuss the ideal management plan for him.
