Meet Junior- a sweet, playful, and funny shepherd mix who has the most beautiful brownish-red coat and a happy clownish behavior.

Junior’s owner past away unexpectedly and he needed to be rehomed quickly.

This boy loves having human attention; will follow you everywhere. He enjoys giving and receiving kisses and
likes to nibble on your hands and feet. However, foster mom is working on him being a bit gentler with it.

Junior absolutely loves to play with other dogs. His play style is both gentle and rough. When he plays with dogs he plays according to the vibe of the other dog. He can lay down and play gentle, or he can run around and tackle. He can be a couch potato too!!
He is good with children and rides well in the car.

He is learning basic commands and will sit automatically when he gets a treat, taking it so gently. Since he was without food for some time after his owners passing, he gets so excited and dances all around when the food bowl comes out.
and then runs into his kennel when its time to eat.
He does not have any food aggression towards humans or animals. However, he does try to push the other dogs away from their bowls when he is finished, so best to keep him separated until everyone is done.
 
Junior sleeps very well at night. He lays on his bed and doesn't want to start his day too early. 
He has not chewed anything in the house. He is housetrained and can be trusted in the house not to chew anything that he should not.
Leash training is in process. 

He is still very skittish with loud noises and fast unexpected movements. New people coming in the house initially scare him, but he has made big improvements in the weeks he has been at his foster home.

If you're searching for a handsome, happy, affectionate, and well-behaved companion, Junior might just be the perfect match for you.
