June is an incredible companion, and such a sweetheart. She’s our best friend, and we’re absolutely heartbroken we have to rehome her. June doesn’t do well with other dogs or small children. We rescued her as a puppy, and she’s always spooked easily and had resource guarding issues. We did what we could to get her acclimated to our son when we was born. Unfortunately she bit him once he became a toddler and was move
Unpredictable with his movements. She has a lot of good years left, and we hope we can find the right person for her.
