My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Junior!

Junior was a frightened little guy that was surrendered to Long Beach Shelter when his mom had to move into assisted living. He is 9 years old and weighs just under 14 lbs.

Junior’s DNA test results are in… and it’s official: he’s 100% seal! (Okay, maybe not, but can’t you see that resemblance?!)

Here’s how Foster life has been for our little land seal:

Junior is still perfecting his leash and collar manners—it’s a work in progress! He’s wearing his leash around the house for now, but don’t worry, he totally pulls it off like a fashion accessory. He’s also a creature of habit and prefers things just so, which has been a bit tricky with the hustle and bustle of selling our home. All the extra activity has turned him into a certified shadow—wherever I go, there he is, my little four-legged entourage.

We’ve also discovered that Junior has some strong opinions about being left alone. When we’re out, he likes to sing the songs of his people—nonstop. (Think of it as an exclusive Junior concert!) While he’s not destructive or stressed, his adoptive family should ideally be home a lot and live in a setting where his vocal stylings won’t disturb the neighbors.

On the bright side, Junior is a potty-training pro! As long as you pay attention to his cues, accidents are a thing of the past. He’s good with other animals too, though he might throw a tiny tantrum if someone else hogs all the love.

As for people, Junior is a sweetheart. He just likes to take his time getting to know you—patience is the key to his heart.

Junior is looking for a home that loves his quirks, his serenades, and his big seal energy. Could that be you?
