Meet Juniper: The Velvet Princess Juniper is the quintessential "gentle soul"-a sleek 3 yo 82lb Black Labrador with a heart of gold and a personality as sweet as the treats she adores. While she has the athletic build of a Lab, she firmly believes she was destined to be a lap dog. If there is an open lap within her vicinity, Juniper will gracefully claim it as her own. The Ultimate Family Companion Juniper is a dream in a busy household. She is exceptionally gentle with children and currently thrives in a foster home with kids aged 2, 4, and 9. Whether it's a toddler's chaotic energy or a 9-year-old's playtime, Juniper remains a calm, steady presence. Unsure of experience with cats, but was friendly with the dogs at the shelter where she was surrendered. House Manners & Training She is a "polished" house guest who makes living together easy: Potty Trained: Juniper is a professional communicator. She will politely wait by the door to let you know when it's time to head outside. Crate & Roam: She is fully crate trained, but she has earned her "roaming rights" too. As long as she gets a potty break before you head out, she is perfectly content to stay out and guard the couch while you're gone. On the Leash: She is a dream on the move, walking perfectly on a leash whether she's in a harness or just a collar. The Three S's: Snuggles, Snacks, and Sleep The Quiet Princess: Unlike many of her peers, Juniper is a girl of few words. She rarely barks, preferring to communicate through soulful stares and gentle nudges. Food Motivated: To say she is "food motivated" is an understatement. She knows several commands and is always eager to learn more-provided there is a treat or a good bone waiting for her at the finish line. The Couch Connoisseur: Her favorite throne is the living room couch, where she spends hours perfecting the art of the afternoon nap. Juniper came to rescue a very pregnant mama and had her precious babies the very next day. She has taken the best care of them and now it is her turn to be the princess and get all the pets.
