About: Juju is a black and white cutie who lived in one home his whole life before being surrendered to the shelter. He was reportedly good with kiddos, dogs of all sizes, cats and even livestock. He was house and crate trained and was well- behaved when left home alone. According to Juju’s former family, he can be nervous of loud noises like thunder and needs time to feel safe with new people or situations.


The shelter environment is incredibly hard on a sensitive dog like Juju, but he’s learning the daily routines and trusting our volunteers. Here’s what one of them had to say:


“Juju walked right out of his kennel and he walked on a loose leash 90% of the time. After we had spent some time together, he let me pet his back and looked at me with soft eyes. He is making progress!”


Other volunteers have shared how very sweet and snuggly Juju is once he feels safe. And doesn’t everyone deserve to feel safe?


Available for foster care (2+ weeks) or adoption through PACC.
Interested parties:
Must visit PACC before the Close of business Saturday November 15th deadline to meet with a counselor who will review notes and introduce you to the dog to ensure that it’s a good fit. Some dogs may also require an introduction to any dogs they may potentially live with.


Home Management Plan
1) Bite History (2)
• Level 2 minor bite while owner was attempting to clip nails
• Level 2 minor bite "while attempting to retrieve dog from owner's car he slipped out of collar and while trying to catch owner was able to grab him but he panicked and started snapping and biting her hands to get away."
2) Shy/Nervous Behavior:
• Juju needs patience and time to decompress at home.
• Go slow and don’t force handling, use positive reinforcement to earn trust.
• May not be immediately affectionate after adoption and will take time to warm up.
3) Handling Issues
• Go slow and at your new dog's pace, does NOT like forced handling.
• Your new pet may fear bite if you force handling, give your new pet time to decompress in the home.
• Focus on positive training and interactions with your new pets.
• Reach out to TOP Dogs [topdogshelp@gmail.com] or an outside professional trainer for assistance.
4) Stranger Danger:
• Your new dog is uncomfortable around new people. They may bark, snap, or flee.
• They need a slow introduction to new people. Muzzle training is recommended for safe introductions.
• Needs a safe place to be away from new people coming into the home.
• Your new dog will do best going for walks in low-traffic areas where it is quiet.
5) Flight Risk
• Juju needs to go home with a strong handler.
• Keep a dragline on them for at least two weeks; this will help you handle the dog more easily.
• When outside, make sure to keep hold of their leash until they have settled into the home.
• Don’t leave them outside unattended; make sure to monitor them while in the yard.
• MUST go home with a martingale collar and flat clip leash.
6) Possibly Undersocialized:
• Juju needs to go home with a strong handler. Due to fear behaviors, they may panic over small things or noises and could potentially attempt to flee by bolting.
• Needs time to decompress at home, this could take 3 weeks to 3 months or longer.
• If dog-friendly, a confident dog could help bring them out of their shell.
• Go slow with your new dog and do not force handling, as this could make the dog fear bite.
• Your new dog will not be affectionate immediately after adoption; they will need patience.
• MUST go home with a martingale collar and flat clip leash.
7) DOG INTRO RECOMMENDED due to his nervousness around other dogs.
