Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Junior is very handsome, shy, three-year-old, 50-pound, male, brown-eyed, brindle and white Boxer/Am Staff-mix looking for a loving guardian. This poor boy was impounded during an abuse/neglect case, so sadly he was incarcerated for his human’s crimes. He received no positive socialization in his original home, and none at the pound where he was kept. Volunteers have been working with him since February of 2011 and he has come such a long way. Junior loves other dogs, loves going for runs, walks and enjoys the company of people of all ages including children. He needs a gentle dog-lover to take him under their wing for training and to help him build his self-confidence. Junior is healthy, neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm-tested and on monthly preventative. His adoption fee of $200 benefits rescued dogs. To meet and possibly adopt him, please contact JJ at jojoann1c3@sbcglobal.net or 708-652-3475. He is currently kenneled in West Chicago, Illinois.
