My story

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

Meet Junior!

Junior was surrendered to Long Beach Shelter when his mom had to move into assisted living, and he was understandably very frightened at the shelter. Additionally, Junior had a painful eye ulcer that we could not heal, so very soon after arriving at Frosted Faces Foundation, he had to have an eye enucleation, a dental, and neuter surgery. He felt so much better after having his very painful eye removed!

Junior went on a two-week Frosted Fling which turned into a months-long Foster, where he blossomed in a calm home environment. We learned Junior is great with cats, is the best greeter when his people return home, is house-trained, and gets along with other dogs!

Let's have Junior tell you more about himself...

"Hi! I’m Junior, and I’ll be the sweetest little sidekick you ever did have… once I get comfortable, that is! I’m a bit anxious sometimes, but I’ve got so much love to give once I know you’re my person.

More about me:

* Outings? No problem! I walk right into my crate, no hesitation, and I’m ready to hit the road! Though, I do like to whine a bit in the car—it’s my way of letting you know I’m excited for the adventure!

* Walks are my thing. I like to stroll and take in the sights. When I go out with my volunteer friends from FFF, I wear an extra leash for a little more space to roam.

* Pets are the best! I love a good gentle, slow pet when I’m comfortable. Sometimes it takes me a bit to warm up, but once I do, I’ll melt into your hands.

* I’m not a fan of being alone. When you’re out, I like to sing my heart out, but I'm not destructive or naughty. I just really love to be around you.

* I’m a potty-training pro! As long as you’re paying attention to my cues, I’m totally accident-free.

* I’m good with other animals, though I may throw a little tantrum if someone else gets all the attention. What can I say? I just want to feel loved.

I’m looking for a home that understands me—my quirks, my slow starts, and my need for extra love and patience. If you’re the kind of family that can give me that, I promise I’ll be your loyal, sweet companion. Could that be you?"
