Juan

Location: Medicine Hat, AB //<br/>Age: Approx 2 years old //<br/>Size: 14lbs //<br/>Energy level: Low //<br/>Dogs: Yes //<br/>Cats: Not tested, likely okay //<br/>Kids: Older, calm kids //<br/><br/>Meet Juan 💛<br/><br/>At just 14 lbs, this 2-year-old chihuahua mix is basically a pocket-sized gentleman with a heart full of love and a signature happy dance you’ll never get tired of. Currently living his best foster life in Medicine Hat, Juan is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart… and then celebrates it with a little spin when you walk through the door. 🐾<br/><br/>Juan is calm, sweet, and incredibly affectionate once he gets to know you. He may be a little shy at first—but give him a couple of days, and you’ll see him blossom into a relaxed, happy little shadow who just wants to be near his people. His favourite place? Curled up beside you on the couch, paws up on your shoulders like he’s giving you the world’s tiniest hug.🐾<br/><br/>This low-energy guy keeps life simple. A short daily walk, a bit of playtime (he loves chasing his ball!), and plenty of cuddle breaks are all he needs to thrive. He’s a smart cookie too, enjoying training time—especially when snacks and praise are involved. 🐾<br/><br/>Juan gets along wonderfully with other dogs, even ones much bigger than him, and has the sweetest, most respectful play style (think gentle wrestling sessions on the couch rather than wild zoomies). He’d likely benefit from a canine buddy to help boost his confidence, especially if left alone for longer periods.<br/><br/>He’s crate trained, mostly house trained, quiet (his bark is more of a polite “ahem”), and an all-around easy roommate. He handles new experiences with a cautious curiosity and continues to grow more confident every day. 🐾<br/><br/>Juan would love a quieter home where he can continue to build trust, soak up affection, and be someone’s loyal little sidekick.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a calm, cuddly companion with just the right amount of quirky charm… Juan might just be your perfect match 🐾 If you would like to meet Juan, please complete an application: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form
