More about Junior

Waiting for fur-ever home for 1 year Hello Friends! My name is Junior, I'm a neutered, 2 year old, pit bull/boxer mix who currently weighs around 62 lbs. I'm an energetic boy that loves running full speed whenever I can! I will bound right into your heart with my adorable antics and rambunctious personality. Since I am a big boy that tends to be on the exuberant side, I would do best in a home with dog-savvy kids aged 10+. I'm a smart boy that already has solid "sit" skills, but I am still working on my leash skills (I'm just so excited). Zoomies and rope toys are my absolute faves! If you are looking for a playful, goofy new friend that can't wait to get outside and have all the fun, please stop by and say hi. Just ask Customer Service about Junior! ID# A953695 I recently went on a hike with a PHS volunteer! Here's how I did: Junior had an off-site adventure today at Robert E. Woolley State Park. When I first entered his roof dorm, he greeted me with lots of energy and jumping. Junior was willing to get into the back seat of my car, though he needed some assistance coordinating his back legs to climb all the way in. On the drive, he was calm, quietly observing and sniffing out the window. At the park, Junior handled passing bikes, joggers, and walkers very well—he showed no reaction to people approaching from behind or ahead. He seemed indifferent to all the birds we encountered, including Canadian geese grazing on the grass, crows on the ground and flying around, seagulls overhead, a heron in the lagoon, and other birds out on the bay. While he did pull toward other dogs, there were no signs of aggressive body language or vocalizations. We made one lap around the lagoon, with no hesitation crossing the inlet bridge or stepping onto the fishing pier. We spent some time on the pier watching people and the planes landing at nearby SFO. When Junior appeared restless, we left the park and went window shopping on Broadway. He pulled toward a few dogs there as well, but continued to display friendly, social body language, and I was able to maintain a safe distance. When we returned to his dorm, we ended the trip with a training session. Junior was calm, focused, and responsive during this time.
