Meet Juanita! This adorable little dynamo was found on the side of the road in Puerto Rico, with a story that tugs at the heartstrings. 😢 After enduring multiple broken bones from a car accident, she has shown incredible resilience. She underwent extensive surgery, receiving metal implants to stabilize her little legs, and guess what? She can now walk and run! 🎉 However, this sweetheart faces another hurdle—she has a luxating patella that will require surgical intervention. But let me tell you, Juanita is a trooper! Having arrived in Colorado in November 2024, she’s spent time in foster care where she’s blossomed. Once a skittish pup scared of human touch, she now proudly walks on a leash and even allows gentle pets. 🥰 She’s showing just how smart she is, listening and responding to commands with eager enthusiasm, especially when there’s food involved! Juanita thrives in the company of other dogs, which helps her open up and feel more secure. Seeing her joyful, wiggling around (she has no tail, but you won't believe how she shakes that adorable rear to express happiness!) is simply heartwarming. 💖 Known affectionately as ‘Ninja’ for her ninja-like moves around the house when it’s food time, she zooms from room to room, spreading joy with every happy dance. This pint-sized powerhouse, weighing around 15lb and resembling a mix between a Min Pin and a lovable bat, is a character! 🦇 She’s not just cute; she’s filled with a playful spirit that will surely make you chuckle as she woos the other dogs with her bossy demeanor. Though Juanita currently uses potty pads indoors, her progress with a doggy door has been impressive, and with time, she can learn to potty outside too. She feels safe in her crate and uses it as her little sanctuary, although she can be a chatterbox if left alone for too long. If you think Juanita could be a great fit for your home—especially if you have a furry friend or two to help ease her transition—this little lady is ready to meet her forever family!
