About Juanita

Juanita has come a long way since arriving from Texas in rough shape, fighting heartworm and carrying scars from her past. At 4 years old, she has truly flourished in her foster home. Now that she’s healthy and happy, Juanita shines as a gentle, trusting companion who is fully housebroken and trustworthy at home, even when left alone for several hours. She enjoys daily walks but settles just as easily into cozy time on the couch. Juanita gets along well with the resident cat and, though she can be a bit reserved when meeting new people, her soft, affectionate nature always comes through with a bit of patience. Her foster mom says, “It took a few weeks, but now we’re best friends. She’s equally content exploring the neighborhood or curling up beside you for a TV marathon.” Juanita has a grateful spirit and is ready for someone who will appreciate her loyal heart. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccines, and has finished heartworm treatment, only needing a follow-up test in a few months. Juanita is looking for a steady, loving home where she can finally relax and be herself. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
