About Jupiter

Jupiter is one of the Planet Puppies, brought to us as an owner surrender. These pups have been through a lot and are still finding their footing. With a little time and love, they can truly flourish. Jupiter is learning that people aren’t so scary, but he would do best in a patient home that can provide understanding. A confident canine companion could help him adjust to a new environment. He does exhibit some resource guarding tendencies around food, so his future family should keep feeding arrangements in mind and focus on building positive habits. Puppies like Jupiter benefit from consistency and time when it comes to potty training and learning house manners. He’s received two of his three DHPP vaccinations and has a microchip; his neuter will be scheduled upon adoption. With encouragement and support, Jupiter has the potential to become a loving, loyal companion. If you’re ready to provide a shy puppy with the guidance he needs, consider welcoming Jupiter into your home!
