My name is Juno and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m 5 y.o. and weigh 35 lbs. I came to my foster home in Joliet, IL, because my owner had to go to a nursing home. I was sad and confused, but my foster mom promised me that everything was going to be okay! You see, I’m a big teddy bear. I love attention from my humans and want to be wherever they are. I love scritches and scratches and treats too! Some things I DO NOT love are baths and crates and gates that keep me from going where I want to go. Luckily, I’m a very good boy when I’m left alone. Foster mom learned that I can be trusted and won’t be destructive. But fair warning, I might counter surf if yummy food is left where I can reach. Are you looking for a walking buddy? Cause I am ready to GO, GO, GO! I sometimes pull a bit on the leash (especially if I see a critter). Yes, I have a high prey drive, so my foster mom says that my forever home should not have cats or small pets. There are other dogs in my foster home and I am pretty good with them. I play rough, and can get possessive if there are food/treats/toys involved, but otherwise I’m a calm and sweet boy. Foster mom thinks I’d do well as an only dog or in a multi-dog home if my forever family knows how to avoid resource guarding. You will also need to be very careful to prevent escapes, since I’m fast and slippery when I spot an open door or gate. I’d love a fenced yard, but regular leash walks are fine too. I’d do best in a home with no shared walls and no small kids. I’m a healthy boy – neutered and vaccinated. I have allergies and my skin was a mess when SIRA rescued me. But it's under control now with daily oral medication and I feel so much better! If you live in the Midwest and are looking for your very own handsome teddy bear, then here I am! Visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more information and to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA get to know you so they can make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will connect you with my foster mom so we can meet!
