Meet newcomer Junior! Junior was sadly surrendered several weeks after the passing of his dad. In the several days that it took Junior & his brother Jack to be rescued from the situation, we were told that he stayed in his crate the entire time - without a single potty accident. We can't imagine how scared and confused he was during that time, and how hard he was trying to be a good boy. Here at the shelter, Junior's goofy personality is starting to show. He is thriving during playgroups with other dogs. Understandably nervous upon arrival, he blossomed the moment he met his new playgroup partner Clifford, an equally muscular and physical player. His ideal bestie is someone he can bounce off of with no repercussions. While Junior can seem standoffish at first, all he needs is a few minutes to build up trust before his smiley, warm personality shows through. As office dog, he is quiet, clean and very well-behaved. He is not a counter surfer and chooses to stick in a corner closest to the nearest available human. We believe that once in a home, Junior will be the most loyal and faithful companion you could choose. He takes treats incredibly gently, and despite his muscled, intimidating exterior, we can tell that his soul is sensitive and tender.This handsome boy has several strikes against him - his breed, for one, and of course being a black large dog in a shelter. We are already beginning to see him mentally deteriorate in this kennel environment, and our greatest wish is for him to find his forever home before the holiday season comes to a close. Junior's adoption fee is partially sponsored. If you would like to open your home to this loveable meathead, please consider coming to the shelter to meet him or filling out the application on our website.
