My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

My name is Juno and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m a pretty girl – 1 yr old and weighing 20 lbs. I came to my foster home here in Montgomery, IL, from a home where I wasn’t treated nicely. But despite a rough past, I am happy, smart, playful, and sweet. I love being outside! Foster mom says I walk beautifully on leash. She’s working with me to ignore people and dogs on our walks so I don’t bother them. I like to try to chase birds and squirrels sometimes. Once I picked up a stick, except it wasn’t a stick – it moved! It was a snake! I was so proud of my prize – I couldn’t figure out why foster mom wasn’t. I love the outdoors so much that I can be a door-bolter and escape artist. My forever home will need to be very careful when opening doors or gates. I get along well with other dogs, but it’s important that we are introduced gradually and on neutral territory, and feeding separately is recommended. I don’t bother the resident cat, so I’d probably do fine living with a dog-savvy cat. At home, I love to look out of the front window at all the people walking by and I love affection from my foster family. Car rides are also fun! There are human kids here in my foster home, who respect my space and I am good with them. I love it when the 4-yr-old pets me and I like to play with the 11-yr-old. Since I’m young, I can be nippy when I play, so it will be important for my forever home to re-direct with positive reinforcement to help me learn good manners. I’m fully potty trained – no accidents. I sleep through the night in my crate and when my foster family goes out. I might get whiny when they are leaving, but then I settle down. I’m very food/treat motivated, which will help with training. I am healthy, spayed and vaccinated. I had a skin rash when I first came to SIRA, but that cleared up quickly with medication. If you live in the Midwest and want a pretty, happy, playful, sweet girl like me to be your BFF, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you and your home environment so they can make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet! I can’t wait!
