Story
JULIA was retired early, thankfully, from an Amish breeder because they were “switching breeds”. She is the sweetest little dog – very petite! Unfortunately, she has been handled roughly in the past and she is afraid of hands reaching for her. We’ve moved her into a foster home to help ease her fears but at this time, we feel should be best in an adult only home. Once you have her in your arms, she settles in and is relaxed. She is on her way to becoming housebroken and enjoys going out on leash in the fenced yard. She is a flight risk so we have not had her off leash – even recommend a leash dragging in the house until she feels comfortable. She is great with other dogs and fine with cats.  Since she is hard to pick up, we don’t feel like she would be a good match for somebody who is mobility challenged although she might benefit from a senior in the household who could spend long hours sitting with her. Please fill out an application at www.companimals.org if you feel you are a good fit for Julia. Puppy mill experience is a plus! If you haven’t fostered or adopted one in the past, please do your research before applying. Adoption $350January 7, 2026, 11:00 am
