Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Breed: Foxhound X Cattle Dog
Age: 6 year
Weight: 77 lbs
Health Status: Neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped
Housing: Detached home, townhome or ground level apartment- no elevators
Junior is a striking boy with soulful eyes that tell a story of resilience. Before coming to us, Junior lived in unpredictable situations, which taught him to be cautious around new people. While he may seem shy at first, beneath that uncertainty is a gentle spirit and a dog who craves connection and trust.
Since joining us, Junior has begun to blossom. With structure, routine, and patient care, he is showing his affectionate side by checking in for comfort, seeking reassurance, and melting hearts with his sweetness. When given calm introductions, a little time to sniff, and some tasty treats, Junior warms up beautifully. Recently, he met someone new in this way and even went on his first walk with them. He did amazing and is ready to keep growing.
What Junior Needs
-Slow, gentle introductions to new people and places.
-Positive reinforcement and predictable routines to help him feel safe.
-A calm handler and a quiet retreat space, such as an open crate
He would do best with adopters who understand under-socialized dogs and are committed to helping him build confidence. Junior truly wants to trust and just needs someone willing to guide him.
Junior’s Ideal Home
-Quiet, patient, and structured environment.
-Best as the only dog, though he may do well with a calm, steady female dog.
-No cats or children
Why Junior?
Junior is looking for someone who believes in gentle, positive change and wants to make a meaningful difference in a dog’s life. With the right adopter, this brave boy has the potential to thrive. If you want to help a deserving dog learn that people can be safe, loving, and reliable, Junior is your guy.
