Description:
Meet Juniper ("Junie") Sweet, spirited, and smart as a whip, Juniper is a 2-year-old bulldog mix with a heart full of love and a brain that might just train you if you’re not careful. At about 40 lbs, she’s the perfect petite adventure buddy (though don’t let those photos fool you...she looks bigger in pictures!). And we can't forget her adorable little bobtail - it only adds to her charm and makes her happy wiggles even more endearing. After a rough start in life, living as a stray and caring for her two pups, Tazzy and Bailey, Junie landed in a southern shelter in desperate need of help. She was severely underweight, heartworm positive, and clearly had gone without care or comfort for far too long. Thanks to an amazing rescue team, Junie received the medical treatment she needed, was spayed, and has made an amazing recovery. Now that her pups have found loving homes, it’s finally Juniper’s turn. What’s Juniper like? Juniper is a true survivor: resourceful, resilient, curious, and always thinking one step ahead. Junie thrives on mental stimulation and would love a home where she can keep learning and exploring. She's food motivated (read: very trainable!) and has already shown she enjoys working with humans, whether it's practicing obedience or solving treat puzzles. She's also been dabbling in frisbee. Maybe her next trick will be catching one mid-air! Juniper would be an awesome match for someone active who enjoys hiking, running, or even agility sports. She’s naturally alert and makes a great little watchdog, keeping an eye on everything around her. But don’t be fooled by her smarts and energy, Junie has a soft, affectionate side too. It’s clear she didn’t get much love in her early life, but she's learning that belly rubs, ear scratches, and quiet cuddle time are pretty great. We're still learning more about Junie as she settles into her Vermont foster home, but one thing’s for sure: this girl is ready to leave her tough past behind and finally find the loving, active forever home she deserves. Dog-friendly: She’s done well around other tolerant dogs. She would be best suited with a well balanced, playful dog that can help her learn the proper way to socialize. No cats, please: Junie’s prey drive is a bit too strong for feline friends. Fenced yard: Strongly encouraged so she can safely zoom and explore.
