Junie Backpack

Good with dogs, Good with cats,

Story

Introducing Junie Backpack, affectionately named by her 3-year-old foster friend. Junie is a delightful mix of sweetness and spunk, adoring playtime and seeking a patient family who can appreciate her stubborn, strong-willed nature (thanks to her pug heritage). She thrives best with another dog companion, as it helps ease her separation anxiety. Potential adopters in apartments should note that Junie can be vocal in expressing herself. She loves going for walks and will stick right by your side. Junie needs a family that can provide plenty of mental stimulation along with redirection. She can be very mouthy so a home with older kids is ideal. Like most puppies, she will benefit from consistent training to help her thrive in her new home. We believe Junie is either. Pug Dachshund or Pug Chihuahua. If you would like to adopt please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee of $450 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip. Please note, Circle 2 Rescue cannot guarantee the breed, composition or ages of our dogs as we usually have limited history prior to them entering the rescue. ##2099229##

Story

Mork has been pretty relaxed from the beginning. She loves to sit on her big cushion outside and watch the others run around before joining in. She loves to play as well. She's not usually the one to start any of the disagreements/ mouthing/ fighting but she will make dang sure she gets the last word no matter how long it takes. She is a funny little lady and plods along just happy to be there! ##2093055##

Story

This pup is the absolute sweetest. He is good with all other dogs that we've seen. He is also good with kids (including young kids and toddlers), he is not food aggressive and is very calm around food. We haven't tested him with cats but he is quite curious about my chickens. It seems his favorite thing to do is to curl up next to me as I work or play with his sister. We just started leash training him and he is loving going on little hikes. This puppy has infinite potential, is a calm mannered, kind, child and dog tested little guy who with just a bit of attention could he trained to be an absolutely phenomenal pup. ##2096419##

Story

Super sweet pup, she is friendly and good with all other dogs we've noticed. She's great with kids, even toddlers who are rough. She hasn't been tested with cats but seems like she is really willing and exciting to learn and I think would be easy to train to whatever environment. She's not food aggressive and loves cuddling her brother and getting pets. This dog has the potential to be amazing, she seems super ready for training and to synch into her forever person's rhythm. ##2096417##

Moon

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 2 mos

Denver, CO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Moon has grown quite a bit in her confidence and trust but she has an interesting personality. She is the most nervous/ cautious/ reactive of the group but can be very calm and sweet at times... we joke that she was supposed to be a Gemini. People do make her nervous when approaching her and when she's being pet from above, and she will try to hide if she's threatened or too overwhelmed. We started rewarding her for approaching us on her own and positively reinforcing all touching/ petting interactions for her early on and it has certainly helped. She'll run right up to me jumping all over and licking, and now she'll even let me sit down to pet her without running away (big deal!). She would do well in a home with someone who can dedicate the time and consistency she needs to continue to build this confidence! ##2093056##

Alien

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 2 mos

Story

Alien wins the most improved award. She's become much more confident and independent in just a few days. She loves affection and being held/snuggled. She also LOVES to play, especially with Mork and ET. She's very vocal while playing (which has given me a few heart attacks) so she's lucky she can't hear herself lol. ##2093054##
