Two-year-old Junior is ready for his forever home! Handsome and rugged, this Belgian Malinois looks tough, but once he trusts you, he’s nothing but a big love bug! Junior has been waiting for his family since September 2024 after his previous owner surrendered him to the shelter through no fault of his own.

True to his breed, Junior is incredibly active, smart, and thrives in structured environments. He needs consistent physical activity and mental stimulation, making him an ideal companion for an owner who enjoys an active lifestyle. When he isn’t training, Junior’s hobbies include going on long walks, rolling around in the dirt, and getting belly scratches. He’s a big softie, he just needs someone to give him a chance!

We think our boy Junior is a great dog, and we think you will too! Stop by the HSVC during visiting hours to see for yourself if he could be your perfect match. The shelter is located at 402 Bryant St. in Ojai and we are open Monday - Saturday between  10 am and 4:30 pm. We’ll see you soon!

Note that Junior's adoption fee is $120. Included with every dog adoption will be the first DHPP shot of the series (if age allows),  a rabies vaccine (if age allows), a wellness check good for up to three days from participating veterinarians, implanting an identification microchip with registration, spay or neuter surgery, if necessary, as well as a collar, ID tag, and a leash.
