About Juniper
Meet Juniper, a lovely Border Collie mix around 5.5 to 6 years old and weighing 35 lbs. Residing in Houston, TX, she’s ready for meet and greets with potential adopters. Also affectionately known as "JuJu," she is a loyal and complex soul seeking a specific forever home. Living mostly blind and deaf, she navigates her world with a unique approach, embodying a blend of independence and affection. JuJu is a solar-powered girl who delights in soaking up the sun, whether it's on the couch in winter or outside during the summer. She enjoys car rides and quiet walks, thriving both solo and with other dogs. Thanks to her touch commands for "sit" and "down," she shows her smarts despite her sensory challenges. Snuggling is one of her favorite pastimes, and she is crate-trained, often settling into her crate at night. Juniper is generally welcoming towards new people, as long as they let her approach them first. She currently has a canine friend named Artie and plays well with gentle dogs, although her vision loss sometimes makes her lose track of him in play. Her ideal home is quiet, possibly with a single adult or a calm couple without children, as she can be protective of her loved ones. Due to her past struggles with resource guarding, she requires a patient handler who can guide her through positive reinforcement training. With the right environment, Juniper is poised to thrive.
