About Juju

Juju is a lively 5-year-old Miniature American Shepherd and American Eskimo mix weighing around 22 lbs. This energetic companion requires plenty of physical and mental stimulation, which makes him a delight to train as he enjoys learning new things. In his foster home, Juju thrives on long walks, often covering 2-5 miles each day, along with outdoor fun like swimming and hiking. Puzzle toys keep him engaged on rainy days, reflecting his playful nature. Having lived with a cat, Juju's herding instinct softened over time; they now form a close bond, cuddling and grooming together. Though he gets along well with other dogs, playing isn’t always his priority. His social skills extend beyond canines; he has met horses, mules, and goats successfully. Juju is both potty and crate trained, and he walks nicely on a leash. However, he can feel anxious during vet visits. A suitable home for him will have a fenced yard and children must be at least 12. If you're ready for an active and affectionate companion, Juju may be the right fit!
