Junior was a frightened little guy that was surrendered to Long Beach Shelter with his mom when their elderly, vision-impaired owner had to relocate to alternate assisted living housing. His mom was adopted at the shelter, and Junior proved to be even more scared when left alone. We scooped him up to become a Frosted Face on November 29th. He is 8 years old and weighs 15 lbs.
Junior ran around the play yard with a leash attached to him at first, so we could guide him in and out of his kennel. In addition to how scared Junior was, he also had a painful eye ulcer that we could not heal, so very soon after arriving at FFF, 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 was soon sneaking up to seated guests and smelling them with curiosity. Then, instead of hiding, he began spending time hanging out in the middle of the littles yard, sunning himself and shyly approaching volunteers to nudge their hands for pets.
Junior left on a two-week Frosted Fling that turned into a Foster home. He has blossomed in a calm home environment, and we have learned he is great with cats, is the best greeter when his people return home, and is house-trained!
Junior's Foster Mom reports:
"Junior has a sweet soul. He couldn't be more gentle when taking treats from your hand. He bonds very quickly and likes to follow you around. At first, he wouldn't come into the bedroom, now he runs in and jumps up on the bed waiting for us to go to sleep! He first only slept on top of the covers, but now burrows underneath to sleep between us.
Junior has become so much more comfortable being walked on leash. He has no problem with small and large dogs that he meets on walks and hikes. He used to be afraid of people, but now, although Junior still cautious, he approaches everyone he meets.
Junior loves to share his space with our senior cat. He sniffs visiting dogs, but hasn't shown a playful side yet. He is always ready to eat and is food motivated. This smart boy even stands by the back door when he has to go potty!
Every day when I come home, Junior is so excited-he eagerly follows me around and showers me with affection. But here's the truly heartwarming part: about ten minutes before his Foster Dad is due to arrive, Junior sits and patiently waits for that familiar sound. As soon as he hears Foster Dad's car approaching, he runs straight to the garage door, ready to give him the warmest of welcomes!
Junior's love and loyalty shine through in these moments, and now all he needs is his forever family. If you are looking for that couch potato dog that loves to snuggle up next to you while you read a good book or watch tv? Then Junior is the guy for you!
Sweet Junior is looking for a home with a patient family, comfy blankets, and ample treats! A feline friend would be an added bonus."
Junior has come so far! He is ready for a forever home with a patient and loving family who will give his time to feel safe and continue to build his confidence. Might that be you?
