Meet Juniper! Born around February 2022, she is a playful, happy Great Pyrenees, Australian Cattle Dog mix. She's on the small side around 50 pounds. She is as cute as can be with her alert little ears, freckles, and soft coat.
Juniper loves to play and run, especially with doggy friends. She is wary of new adult dogs and needs slow and controlled introductions but once she warms up she does great! She can be pushy, so she needs a buddy that can stand up to her and doesn't mind her intense play. She would love to have a playful dog buddy in her forever home.
She absolutely adores puppies! She is gentle and cautious with them, she does play bows and boops them with her nose. She even loves the bunnies in her foster home and is very nice with them.
Juni is very loving and cuddly, but does take a long time to warm up to new people. She would need a family willing to be patient to gain her trust. Her foster family is working hard to show her that everyone is friendly, but will always be cautious and have some limitations. It would be best if her home had no children or only children over 16.
She is food motivated and a big people pleaser. She loves all food and takes her treats very gently. She responds to commands very well and is quick to figure out what you want her to do.
She is great on leash. However due to her struggles with unfamiliar dogs she does not do well in scenarios with high levels of dog traffic.
She loves going on car rides. She loads up easily, has so much fun looking out the window and settles down along the way. She is active and enjoys exercise and mental stimulation - she'd love to join you for adventures.
Juniper is fully house trained. She is crate trained, but has no need for one.
She is currently in a foster home in DFW area, Texas. Out of area adopters are responsible for arranging their own transport. Juniper is spayed and up to date on vaccines. Her adoption fee is $250.
