Terrier and Cattle Dog Dogs Available for Adoption

Juniper (Juni) is a sweet, happy little medium to high energy Terrier/Cattle dog mix. She was born around 5/10/25 and currently weighs 20 lbs. Her DNA came back as mostly the Terrier family (including Chihuahua and Rat Terrier) as well as some Australian Cattle Dog and Poodle!

Juni is playful, affectionate and smart. She loves romping around the yard with her dog buddies and playing chase. She is starting to play ball but also enjoys chasing a dog who chases a ball. She has discovered toys and will toss them around and play. She likes to chew bully sticks and other chewy toys. She is a good hiking and walking buddy. She is fairly active during the day but has an off switch and likes to relax on the couch with her humans in the evening. She is still very much a puppy and it is beneficial to keep her mind and body busy.

Juni is crate trained but does not love her crate and prefers being with her people. She desires to be a large part of her family’s life and wants to be included in daily activities. She is learning to walk politely on a leash and has begun hiking and visiting dog friendly stores. She is doing well with house training in her foster home. She likely would not be happy being left home alone daily for long hours.

Juni currently lives with dogs of various sizes and does well with them and likes to play. She also lives with dog savvy cats but might challenge shy kitties and chase if they run. She likely would be intimidated by young children so only dog savvy, respectful children over 12 are recommended. She loves a yard and is an alert barker so no apartments for her. She can be shy when meeting new people but has shown she will warm up with slow introductions and treats.

Juni would likely do well with an active family who will take her on outings and adventures. She would enjoy a playful, young dog companion to romp around with, help show her the ropes and keep her company while her humans are away from home. Someone who has the time, patience and willingness to continue training a young dog would be ideal.

Juni is a fun, sweet dog who is a joy to foster.
