Juana

My story

Meet Juana – abandoned in an alleyway, she’s looking forward to a brighter future! Juana is a female mixed breed dog, about 4 years old and 51 lbs. Juana is currently underweight and could use some TLC to be her best self. Juana came to the shelter in need of some medical attention – and she thanks her staff and volunteer friends by being the sweetest lady! Juana has been noted to be calm and polite. She walks on a loose leash, solicits pets and cuddles and takes treats gently. Come meet Juana today, ACCT is open 10am-6pm every day. Videos: Meet Sweet Juana 7/2/25: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/W4THeSsF2Bk Behavioral Notes: 07/03/2025 volunteer notes: very sweet gentle girl. Knows sit and takes treats gently & with patience. Cuddled in my lap when I sat on the ground with her. Very friendly. Volunteer 7/2: Juana has great kennel presence. Soft eyes and calm. Allowed leashing, kept her head still. Walked out of eval room calmly and paid no attention to dogs. Outside we tried a face to face dog meet with Oreo. She stayed neutral- low tail, no wags but generally walked in the other direction from Oreo. Allowed Oreo to sniff her and remained still/ stiff. Another dog came up to her at the fence later and she had low tail wags and pulled forward to sniff the other dog with good, neutral body language. She seemed more enthusiastic about this dog and when he walked away she stayed by the fence and scratched playfully at it. Outside she loves cuddles and is gentle. She approaches me and nudged for more pets and would lean into me while I pet her on her head and body. Walks with a loose leash. Appears house trained! Easy to return. She is very food motivated but never snatchy. She’s polite and sits for treats, taking them gently. Staff 6/28/25: QAR, friendly girl, shy, knows how to sit and takes treats very gently.
