About June

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! If you've never experienced the depth and emotion of soulful eyes, now is your chance to meet June. Once abandoned in rural Gainesville, June bravely searched for food not only for herself but for her unborn puppies. Her journey was long, but with the kindness of a watchful foster family, she began to rediscover trust and warmth. June eventually gave birth in the safety of a neighbor's shed, and from that moment, her life started to turn around. Embraced by a loving home, she learned that life could be filled with gentle voices and caring hands instead of fear. At about two years old and weighing 52 pounds, June is an Anatolian Shepherd/Labrador Retriever mix with a beautiful tan coat. She is very shy and will need a family who can offer patience and understanding as she adapts to her new life. Due to her past, she may need extra time and compassion to trust men in the household. June will not be an instant companion but a rewarding work in progress for those who are dedicated to offering her a forever home. If you were born on December 1, you share a Sagittarius sun sign with June, which means she may have a hidden sense of adventure waiting to blossom once she's comfortable.
