Junior, this incredible guy is trying to make sense of the changes in his life while he waits to see what comes next. Junior is 11 years old, although you'd never know it to look at him, already neutered, and comes with a handsome multi-colored coat and big ol' feet that we just love. Junior likes the shelter folks just fine, but sure would adore a happy place of his own again.

On Sunday March 30, Minnieville Animal Hospital and the Prince William County Humane Society will be hosting an open house from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the animal hospital in Woodbridge.

Veterinarians and technicians will be on hand to help owners with low cost grooming services as well as microchipping and rabies vaccines during the open house. Animals from the humane society will also be there for anyone who might want to adopt a pet. All of the money raised during the open house will go to the P.A.W.S. program at the humane society which covers medical care for homeless pets to make them adoptable.
