Junior Mint - Japanese Chin and Pekingese Dog for Adoption in Scituate, Massachusetts

Junior Mint came to us when his elderly owner could no longer care for him. He is a playful fellow, despite being a little overweight and 8 years old. He likes to play fetch and is also content playing with his toys all by himself.
He has an eye condition called KCS (or "dry eye") that will require eye drops for the remainder of his life. The drops cost about $50/month.
Junior Mint has never lived with other animals, but did well in his dog introduction here at the shelter.
He would likely do OK in a home with older children and other animals, but would also be happy to be your one and only!
Junior Mint will need regular visits to the groomer to keep his coat in top condition.
