Junior is a small boy about 15 lbs and about 6 years old. . He was the house dog at an Alzheimer’s Hospice care house that is now in foreclosure. He was so loved there but none of the residents had the resources to take him with them to their new care centers. He is a really sweet and intuitive dog that is full of love and kisses. He slept in the beds of the gravely ill and gave them comfort on their last days.
The Alzheimer’s Hospice Care house is in foreclosure. The last human resident was moved into their new care center, but Junior, a small 6 year-old, 15 pound therapy dog has not been so lucky. None of the residents had the resources to take him and now Junior needs a new home. Can you help?
Junior gave comfort, love, and kisses to the gravely ill. He slept in their beds over their last days on earth. When the last resident left last week, he ran after the car carrying the last resident. Can you help him?

I hope a new home can be found. I became aware of the work of hospice dogs through
Jon Katz, a foremost writer about dogs. His work with hospice and his dogs at Bedlam Farm is so inspiring!
