🐾 Junior – Big Ears, Bigger Heart 💛
Junior wasn’t born lucky—but he’s hoping his luck is about to change. This floppy-eared sweetheart was just a tiny pup when he was dumped in an alley and somehow found his way to our front yard in Dallas, TX. Dirty, thirsty, and exhausted, he looked up at us with those giant radar ears like he already knew he’d found safety. All he wanted was a nap, a bowl of water, and someone to love him. From day one, he gave that love right back—grateful, loyal, and full of puppy heart.

And then… he grew.
And grew.
And kept growing.

Junior is now about 55 pounds of pure love and goofy muscle. He’s playful, eager to please, and has mastered the art of sprinting to you the second you call his name (those satellite-dish ears hear everything). He's a shadow dog—in the sweetest way—always following close behind with those “what are we doing next?” eyes.

Some of our favorite Junior moments:
The time he turned baby powder into a winter wonderland across the house.
How he nestles his whole head into your lap like he’s still a tiny baby.

He’s silly, smart, and truly wants to be someone’s best friend forever. Junior can sit, we are working on not jumping, and he is crate trained and potty trained. He needs a home that can match his size with time, structure, and lots of love.
