Juniper - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Goleta, California

Hi there! My name is Juniper and I'm at the Santa Maria Campus.

I'm a young Shepherd with a lot of energy, and the good news is that I'm a quick learner! I love going for walks and using my nose to smell every little scent along the way. Because I'm still young, I have a lot of potential to grow into the best companion with the right person. I love playing with my toys, quietly watching the birds, and burning off some of my residual puppy energy. I hope we can meet soon!

Adoptions are open 12pm-4:30pm every day, except Wednesdays, and no appointment is needed.

Like all SBH animals, when I am adopted I will have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Adoptions also include a certificate for a complimentary post-adoption veterinary exam from a local clinic and our partners at Hills Science Diet will provide a supply of food for my first few days at home.

Need some supplies? Both SB Humane Campuses have retail centers stocked with everything you need, at comparable prices, and your purchase helps support our mission.

Hope to see you soon!
