Juno - Coonhound and Hound Dog for Adoption in Richardson, Texas

JUNO'S STORY IS ONE OF SURVIVAL, LOVE & SECOND CHANCES

It's hard to believe that this happy, playful puppy once fought for his life.

When Juno first came to us, he was covered in fleas and ticks and suffering from severe anemia. He was so sick that he needed to be hospitalized and receive a blood transfusion.

But Juno wasn't ready to give up.

With lots of love and tender care from his foster family, this little survivor fought his way back. Today, he's a playful, sweet puppy who is ready for the life he always deserved.

Juno is a hound mix and is expected to grow to over 40 lbs (estimated). He is good with dogs and teenagers and is almost house trained. He knows some commands and is very food motivated, making him eager to learn! Like any puppy, he has his silly puppy moments, but overall, he is a well-behaved boy for his age.
