Junior

My story

Hello Friends! My name is Junior, I'm a neutered, 1-year-old, pit bull/boxer mix who currently weighs around 53 lbs. but will most likely be about 60 to 70 lbs. as an adult. 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 6+. 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: Today was my first time working with Junior as his chaperone for the Monthly Hike. Gearing up was challenging due to his wiggling. As I opened the back door of my car, Junior backed away and crouched. Eventually, I carried him, and he passively allowed me to lift him into the back seat. On the hike, Junior showed no negative reactivity to walkers, children, joggers, and bicyclists passing or approaching. He pulled continuously during the hike and tried to get close to other dogs in the group and those passing by. After the hike, I carried him into the back seat once more. Once in the car and during the car ride, both ways, he was well-behaved and did not appear fearful or distressed. When we returned to Lantos, I parked on Rollins. I opened the car door for Junior, and he was hesitant to get out. On the first car ride, he jumped out immediately. Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by. Drop-In hours for Same Day Adoptions are 11 am – 5 pm, 7 days a week (closed major holidays). We do our best to update our listings regularly, but we can’t guarantee every animal you see is still available. It’s also typical for us to have animals who haven’t had their photos taken yet, so you are welcome to visit our adoption center and have a look around! To check on an animal's adoption status, please call 650-340-7022 during normal business hours to speak with an adoption counselor. Emails will be returned as soon as possible, but please allow up to 48 hours during busy adoption periods like weekends.April 18, 2025, 9:39 pm
