Juan

Juan is a lovely young man who is still learning about the world and would love a family with a quiet, laid-back lifestyle that still enjoys a bit of exploring. He likes getting out and about, taking in his surroundings, and discovering new things at his own pace.

As Juan is still quite young, he is continuing to build his experience and confidence around other dogs. Because of this, he would be best suited to either a single-dog home or one with a calm, larger canine friend. Little dogs or very excitable dogs can be a bit overwhelming for him, and he is still working out exactly what he is meant to do in those situations.

Juan is very much a people dog. He loves pats and is quite happy to lean on you while quietly watching whatever it is he thinks you are watching. He also enjoys heading off to explore the yard, so a home with some outdoor space would be ideal for him.

Older children would likely be the best fit for Juan, as he can be a little squishy. That said, younger children visiting from time to time could be a possibility, especially if those interactions are in smaller doses rather than part of his everyday routine.

Juan will look to his new family to show him the ropes and set clear boundaries early on, which will help him continue growing into the confident, friendly young man he is well on his way to becoming.

If you are looking for a sweet, affectionate boy with a gentle nature, an exploring spirit and plenty of potential, Juan could be your perfect match.
