Hi everyone, my name is Junior and I’m an awesome dog, if I do say so myself!
I get along well with dogs of all ages and sizes as long as you introduce us nicely. Speaking of introductions, I love to meet people too, but also prefer to be introduced. I would do best in a home with older children because I like to run and may knock a smaller child over on accident. There are cats in my foster home that I ignore, but if they run, I’m going to chase them, they’re weird!

I am crate trained and will go in my “room” as soon as you tell me it’s time. I’m also housebroken and enjoy going outside to do my business.
Speaking of outside, I love to be outside, and my foster family says that I have great recall because I go outside and run around and will come as soon as I’m called. I currently live in a home with lots of property and would love to have a family where I have room to run and would even be a great running partner.

I also know how to sit, lay down, “wait” for treats and am always a gentleman when I take treats from you. I walk nicely on a leash and sometimes I even walk myself by holding the leash.

I consider myself to be quite the catch and deserving of love and a family to call mine forever. If you are looking for a family member who is going to love you unconditionally, play with you, give you attention, loyalty, and learn new things, send in your application to meet me!
