⚠️ Things to Consider Before Adopting

Before welcoming Junior home, please consider:

Are you ready to commit to a dog who has known hardship and deserves stability?

Does your housing allow his breed and size?

Are you prepared for long-term care, including food, vet visits, and enrichment?

Can you provide a calm, loving environment where trust can continue to grow?

Adoption is a lifetime promise - especially important for a dog who has already lost so much

Vet Care

Even though Junior is now safe and cared for, adopters should schedule a visit with their own veterinarian as soon as possible after adoption to establish ongoing care and ensure his continued recovery and health.

The 3-3-3 Rule

First 3 days: Junior may be cautious as he takes in his new surroundings - patience and gentle reassurance are key.

First 3 weeks: He'll begin learning your routine and realizing he is safe.

First 3 months: Trust deepens, his personality shines, and he'll truly understand that he is home.

This adjustment period is essential, especially for a dog who has survived neglect.

Why Junior Will Be an Incredible Addition

Junior is the kind of dog who reminds you what resilience and unconditional love truly mean. He doesn't ask for much - just safety, kindness, and a place to belong. In return, he offers unwavering loyalty, quiet affection, and a heart that will love you with everything it has.
