Shy Juno needs a home and a canine best friend
A shy Akita dog is looking for a caring family to take her in after being in a rescue centre for more than a year.
Two-year-old Juno was brought to Wymeswold rehoming centre last July and is still waiting to find her new family, preferably with a canine companion.
The team say she will need patient owners to help her settle into new surroundings, but shines when she is with another dog.
Emma Proctor, assistant manager at Dogs Trust Loughborough, said: “The last year or so has proved to us all how important friends and family are, and for Juno that’s definitely the case.
“She didn’t have the best start in life and missed out on socialisation as a puppy, so it’s vital she now finds the ideal home, and that is a quiet rural home with another dog.”
During her time at the rehoming centre, the team have seen Juno become more confident and display her “lovely silly side”.
Emma said: “When she is alongside another dog, she really comes into her own and her lovely personality starts to shine through.
“If we can find her a home with a four-legged friend who will introduce her to the big wide world and show her it’s not as scary as she thinks, that would make our year.”
Juno will need a large, very secure garden for her outdoor exercise until she is confident enough to head out on walks with her new family.
Emma said: “When we first saw Juno get giddy, it was lovely. She particularly enjoys a game of chase.”
Juno can live with young adults aged 15 and over.
