Story
Meet Juniper This brindle beauty is just 8–10 weeks old, weighs 14 lbs, and is already full of sass, smarts, and sweetness.
Juniper was found wandering alone along a busy highway in West Palm Beach — but you’d never guess it from her joyful puppy energy! She’s believed to be a hound mix and is growing into her long legs and big personality. She has the cutest little puppy dog eyes and is basically a snuggly Precious Moments figurine.
This clever girl is already working on housebreaking and crate training in foster care. She’ll need a family ready to keep up with her progress — and maybe reinforce a few barriers too, since Juniper is a tiny Houdini when it comes to playpens and baby gates.
That said, she loves her crate when there are snacks and puzzle toys involved and is eager to learn. She’s food-motivated, curious, and thrives when her mind is engaged — the perfect match for someone who enjoys training and enrichment games. She has relatively good accuracy with a pee pee pad and has gone potty outside while with her Floridian foster family. In NYC she is not yet vaccinated enough to go one sidewalk walkies BUT we have no doubt that with a consistent schedule this girl will catch out quick - she is very food motivated and eager to please.
Juniper will likely grow into a medium-large sized dog and would do well in a home that can offer consistency, patience, and playtime. She loves her adult dog foster siblings and would do well with a playmate but also does great with solo play! She’d love a dog-savvy adopter or a family with kids who understand puppy behavior and boundaries. She is fully of fun loving sugary sweet puppy energy and is ready for a family to take her home.
Current on vaccinations for DHPP, and bordetella. Microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
Juniper is scheduled for her spay and rabies vaccine on Thursday, July 31, 2025 at ASPCA - Queens Community Vet Clinic (LIC). Should she be adopted before then, her adopters will be responsible for bringing her to and from this appointment. Waggytail Rescue will cover the cost of this neuter appointment but any other vet appointments will be the adopters responsibility.
To apply for Juniper, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the dog is on our website, they are still available.
Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable dog, or final size of any of our adoptable puppies. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the dog into our rescue.
