About June

June has the kind of soulful eyes you remember. She lived rough for a while, abandoned outside Gainesville, searching for enough food to keep herself and her unborn puppies alive. A family watched out for her, coaxing her toward safety and reminding her not all people are unkind. She delivered her pups in a neighbor’s shed, but luck turned when she found a foster home and real care. In her new life, June learned that soft voices and gentle touches rule the day. She’s about two years old, mixed Anatolian Shepherd and Labrador Retriever, tan as summer hay. Don’t expect June to be the star of the show on day one—she’s shy and careful, the kind who measures people before trusting them. She does great with crate and house training, sleeps soundly through the night, and finds peace in having her own safe place. Her foster vouches for her clean record indoors and her calm manner. June’s past left scars; she will need a family patient enough to help her trust, especially if there are men in the home. She’s looking for someone to let her keep blossoming, slowly, into the loyal companion she’s meant to be. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
