My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This pointy-eared girl is Miss Juniper. 

Juniper was found a few months ago as a stray outside of Ney, OH. To everyone's surprise, she did not end up getting reclaimed by her previous folks and has been hanging out with us while we try to find her a forever family. 

Upon arrival, we learned that Juniper was heartworm positive and she immediately began treatment. She has been an absolute rock-star and completed treatment with ease. Juniper feels like a brand new pup and you could never tell that she had been sick. She has a very outgoing and energetic personality, true to her breed. 

Juniper is pretty strong on leash and due to her arrival as a stray, we would strongly suggest a fenced yard or someone willing to take daily walks with her. She has been a little reactive to some of the more "intense" shelter dogs so any canine introductions should be slow and controlled. 

If you're a Shepherd lover and are looking for an extra special girl to your family, consider adopting Juniper!
