Junior

About Junior

Meet Junior — the tiny tornado disguised as a puppy. He's almost potty trained, which means you're only occasionally surprised, never shocked. His tail? He wags with delight!

Junior thinks fetch is a full-time job and he is employee of the month. Balls, toys, frisbees, rogue socks — if it can be chased, he's on it. He's also a tug-of-war prodigy, specializing in ropes, blankets, and anything he can drag while giving you that signature sideways glance like he's plotting something adorable and mildly chaotic. Here's a video of Junior playing chase with the resident dog.

Strangers? He'll bark like he's guarding Fort Knox… then immediately melt the second he gets a sniff. He's a cuddle bug at heart — a snuggle-seeking missile.

What's the cutest thing about Junior? His face. All of it. It's unfair, really. He loves everyone, and somehow everyone loves him back — even after being whacked by his happy tail.

Very much a puppy. Very much learning. Very much perfect.

Junior is from a local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

*Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.*

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
