Critter Details

Hi, I am Junior!! Age: 3 years – neutered and vettedBreed: Belgian MalinoisStatus: Professional Love Bug  looking for a forever home!If enthusiasm were a sport, Junior would have a gold medal and a sponsorship deal. This handsome boy may have had a rough start, but you’d never know it—he’s got a heart full of sunshine and enough love to power a small city. Junior spent most of his young life in a shelter, so he’s still discovering what the world has to offer. Think of him as a 3-year-old puppy experiencing life for the first time—curious, playful, and occasionally forgetful about personal space (we call it “affection with enthusiasm” ) He LOVES people, learning new things, and being told he’s a good boy (spoiler: he absolutely is). He’s great on leash and stays calm around dogs and people—as long as they give him a little personal bubble. The Details: Does well with large dogs after slow introductions (he’s just excited to make friends!) Neutral toward livestock, poultry, and horses Finds cats very interesting—could be friend, food, or foe—but coexists nicely with a confident, dog-savvy cat Hasn’t met small dogs up close yet Making great crate progress, though he prefers a roomy dog run for now  Commands He Knows:Sit / Sitz • Down / Platz • Wait • Heel / Fus • No • Kennel • Leave It (almost nailed!) • Recall (“Here”)Medium food drive • Medium-high toy drive • Low-medium prey drive (unless it meows )Junior would shine in activities like agility, scent work, or obedience—he loves using that sharp Malinois brain and endless energy.Don’t let his good looks fool you—Junior’s smart enough to outthink most people, so he needs a confident handler who provides clear boundaries and a predictable routine. He’s mouthy and playful but improving every day.All in all, Junior can be whatever you want him to be—couch potato, farm hand, or sport champ. As long as he’s with his person, he’s happy. If you’re looking for a goofy, loyal sidekick with a huge heart and an even bigger personality—Junior’s your guy. Junior is located in Colorado, reasonable transport is available!Will you be the one opening your home and heart to Junior?If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application at this link  https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/24689/generic. ***********************************************************************We are an official 501c3 organization that does not have a physical location.
