Junie B is a most gorgeous 8-month-old female Am Staff Bully/Australian Shepherd mix. She currently weighs in at approximately 42 pounds, and she is the happiest girl in the world!Junie came to us from Southern Virginia where she was picked up as a stray alongside her brother. Her brother found a home, she hitched a ride to Ohio! She is a gorgeous girl with one of the most unique coat colors we have seen in a while - a brindle/merle combo. Her beautiful violet blue eyes complete a very pretty picture!Junie is a happy healthy bouncy puppy. At only 8 months old, she may be mostly full grown, but she's still a baby at heart. Plus, we doubt that Junie had much of a puppyhood. She's absolutely ready to have one now! Junie is a delightful girl. She is active and playful yet has a nice off switch. She is learning every single day that she is here with us. The progress she has made walking on a leash is AMAZING. This girl is a quick study once she understands what is being asked of her! She seems to recognize what a crate is and is comfortable in one, rides well in a car (even for hours at a time), knows how to sit, and loves her some treats. Nothing better than a food motivated dog! She has proven herself to be pretty dog friendly overall, both here and at the shelter down south, and should do okay with dog savvy slightly older kids (think 8 and up) solely because of her puppy energy and BOUNCE. Meet and greets will be required for both canines and kiddos. Cats are a complete unknown, but we would be willing to try and introduce her to see what happens upon request. Junie is a dog who needs plenty of interaction and exercise - she is a mix of two very active breeds as well as two very SMART breeds. She isn't a couch potato, nor is she an adult - this kid is still a babe and still in need of all that basic puppy training such as House Training 101 and learning basic house manners. The thing is, at 8 months old, our girl has what is known as an ATTENTION SPAN. Far more than a baby puppy, she is able to actually pay attention and learn things far more quickly! YAY FOR OLDER PUPS! She will benefit from regular socialization as well as attending some training classes. Don't forget, this chick had a bit of a tough start in life, nobody cared enough to show her how to behave - now we are turning that all around for her and we definitely want her family to continue where we left off! The end result will be phenomenal and so so worth it. This girl is a diamond! Junie B is waiting for her spay to be completed before she heads to her new home.
