Juanita's Story

Meet Juanita! When this little 1.5-year-old, 15-pound girl arrived at a local shelter, she was in pretty rough shape. She was emaciated, had lost most of her fur from severe flea allergies, and was dealing with both roundworms and Giardia. It was obvious she hadn't been getting the basic care she needed for a very long time.<br/><br/>We were alerted to her situation and couldn't leave her there, so we rushed over and brought her to Pug Nation. And just look at her now! Juanita has been putting on weight, her fur is growing back, and she's cleared both parasites. She's feeling so much better, and apparently her favorite way to celebrate being healthy again is by running around like a tiny maniac. Because Juanita is FUN.<br/><br/>She is peppy, playful, curious, and has an almost ridiculous enthusiasm for life. She loves running around, playing with her dog friends, and making sure she is included in whatever is happening. She gets along great with other dogs and absolutely loves people.<br/><br/>And then there is the food. Juanita is extremely food motivated. Extremely. We suspect she would like us to emphasize this part of her bio, because she has made her feelings on snacks very clear. Treats are basically the fastest way to get her attention and we have a feeling she would be an enthusiastic student for anyone interested in teaching her some tricks.<br/><br/>But what really gets us about Juanita is that after everything she went through, she is still just so happy. She doesn't seem interested in holding a grudge or spending her days wondering why things were so hard. She's busy being a young dog. She's busy playing, eating, making friends. She's busy enjoying the fact that she finally feels good.<br/><br/>The only thing Juanita hasn't gotten yet is the part she's been waiting for: her own family. She deserves a home where good food is plentiful, where she can run and play, where someone will take care of her skin and keep her healthy, and where she can finally stop wondering what happens next. Juanita has already done the hard part. Now she gets to be someone's happy little dog. And honestly, we think she's going to be very, very good at it. Interested in Juanita? Please inquire today!
