Meet Juniper, Scout & Summit — a call came in about puppies being given away outside a market to people living on the streets. When we arrived, two were found left behind in a bin. We kept searching and discovered a third puppy, barely hanging on, tucked underneath a pile of trash. There were five puppies in total, but sadly we were only able to find three. Their mom was given away as well — one of the many heartbreaking realities of rescue. But these three are safe now, and their story gets to have a happy ending. Juniper, the little girl, is full of life. She’s playful, spirited, and brings the fun wherever she goes. (Adopted!) Summit, the brown boy, is the most reserved of the bunch. He takes a little time to warm up, but his sweet and gentle personality shines through. Scout, the black boy, seems wise beyond his years. He has a calm, mature presence and almost takes on the role of the older brother, quietly looking after his siblings.
🧠 Temperament
He takes a little time to warm up, but his sweet and gentle personality shines through. Bold, comic and stubborn, bred to go down a badger hole alone.
🎾 Exercise
Low to moderate — walks on flat ground and gentle play.
✂️ Grooming
Depends on coat; smooth is easy, long and wire need brushing.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
Great apartment size. Protect the back — discourage stair and furniture jumping, and use a harness rather than a collar.
