June is your typical hound: sweet, affectionate, and very loyal to her people. When June first came into care, it became clear she was a dog who hadn’t had much. She hoarded toys and bones as though they were limited resources, and she became very attached to her people in a way that is common for dogs who are not used to a lot of affection. She is, by default, a “good” dog, but it was clear that no one had ever given her training or boundaries.

To set her up for success in her new home, June was enrolled in a three-week training program once her medical treatment was completed. In those short three weeks, we saw June’s confidence grow and, with that, her enjoyment of being around other dogs and new people. She now has a beautiful foundation of training for her family to build upon. And the next step? To finally find her the family she has been waiting for!

June is a sensitive dog who would do best in a calm and quiet home. She loves walks and being with her people. She is fully house-trained and has no separation anxiety, so she is fine being left alone during the workday. She could happily live with another balanced dog or as an only dog. She will need a home committed to continuing her training and building her confidence. June truly thrives in an environment with boundaries and structure, where she knows what is expected of her.

She is such a special dog who has had an incredibly rough year and more than deserves the perfect home.

Her perfect adopter:

– enjoys getting out of the house, which will keep June social

– would be dedicated to daily walks and exercise to also help her lose weight

– can build her confidence and encourage her, be firm with boundaries and guidance

– would enjoy practicing the various skills she’s learned, so she can show off her talent

– a fenced yard, she needs a space she can exercise in off leash and follow her nose
