Meet Junebug – A Tiny Pup with a Big Personality! 

Born around March 22, 2025, little Junebug may weigh just 5 pounds, but she’s already proving she’s got a huge heart and an even bigger brain. This smart, sassy girl has already learned sit, lay down, spin in a circle, stand on her back legs, and how to calmly wait in her puppy pen—all in just a few days! She’s working on her potty training, using pads when alone and going outside with encouragement. At night, she happily curls up in her crate surrounded by her entire collection of toys (yes, even her favorite bone comes to bed).

Junebug was born deaf, but you’d never know it by the way she’s thriving. She picks up hand signals incredibly fast and responds beautifully to structure and routine. With the right guidance, she's unstoppable. She enjoys the company of other dogs—even those 10 times her size!—but would also do well as an only pup since she’s great at entertaining herself with toys. She's also cat-friendly and sleeps through the night like a champ.

Because she’s tiny and still has those sharp little puppy teeth, we think she’d do best in a home with kids 8 and up.

If you’re looking for a bright, lovable pup who will amaze you every day, Junebug might just be your perfect match.
