Juna

My story

Juna (aka Winnie) is basically the canine version of a houseplant — calm, quiet, and perfectly content just existing in your space while radiating good vibes. She’s not the “needy fern that wilts dramatically if you forget to mist it for two hours,” but more of a low-maintenance succulent: she’s not the type to bounce off the walls or fling herself into your lap like an overcaffeinated toddler; she’s more of the “quietly observe, blink slowly, and exude Zen energy” type. Juna (aka Winnie) is 10 years old and has fully earned the right to say “get off my lawn” to any dog or cat who dares to invade her bubble. She’s not trying to throw paws — she just has zero interest in sharing her personal space with a bunch of hyper hooligans. Kids? Hard pass. Juna is not applying for the role of babysitter. She’s reached the stage of life where sticky fingers, loud squeals, and erratic toddler energy are not on her list of tolerated activities. Older, calmer kids who understand boundaries? Sure. But if your child thinks dog tails are handles, move along. Now, here’s the funny twist: while she’s a card-carrying member of the “no nonsense” club when it comes to other animals, Juna turns into a full-blown social butterfly with people. She’ll happily greet strangers like they’ve been best friends forever. Basically, if you’re a human, you’re in. Juna is a 10 year old, 58lb female Aussie mix. Juna was originally adopted from us back in 2019, and for several years she lived her best life with her family. But as life tends to do, things changed — a new baby joined the household, and suddenly Juna found herself in the middle of nonstop noise, unpredictable schedules, and tiny sticky hands reaching into her personal bubble. And if there’s one thing Juna has made abundantly clear, it’s that she is not a fan of chaos or shenanigans. At ten years old, she’s firmly in her “peace and quiet, please” era, and no amount of Cheerios flung from a highchair was going to change her mind. Her adopters made the tough decision to return her, knowing that she deserved a calmer environment where she wouldn’t be stressed out. Now she’s back with us, looking for a retirement-style home where her biggest responsibilities are napping in sunspots, supervising yard patrols, and graciously accepting lovings from her people. Juna (aka Winnie) operates at an energy level of 3, which means she’s basically a sloth wrapped in Aussie fur. She’s not signing up for marathons, mountain climbing, or anything that requires more effort than a dignified stroll followed by a nap. If animals had AAA batteries, hers are perpetually on the “low” setting —she’s not out here training for marathons, but she can still summon enough pep to go sniff out every rabbit and squirrel track in the yard before heading back inside to perfect her nap form. Car rides? She’s already been hauled across the country like some sort of furry snow queen on tour — Florida to Oklahoma — and she handled it like a pro. No drama, no complaints, no “are we there yet” whines from the backseat. She’s the chill co-pilot who gazes out the window, probably contemplating life, squirrels, or why humans spend money on things that aren’t treats. On a leash, she’s basically the dream. No sled dog impersonations, no zigzagging like a conspiracy theorist chasing “clues,” just polite, easy walking. Honestly, she makes other dogs look like sugar-fueled toddlers with roller skates strapped on. Adventure-wise, she’s retired from the big leagues. Don’t expect her to lead you on epic hikes or audition for “Survivor: Backyard Edition.” At ten years old, she’s more of the “let’s take a nice walk, then go home and judge the world from the couch” type. Think couch connoisseur meets backyard philosopher. As for living arrangements, Juna’s flexible. She loves a good yard, sure, but stick her in an apartment with humans who don’t work and will devote themselves entirely to her comfort? She’d be thrilled. Walk her, feed her, let her nap, and cuddle her on the couch. Basically, she’s not asking for much — just your undivided attention and eternal devotion. Juna comes pre-installed with all the upgrades people wish their dogs had. Potty trained? Check. Out of the chewing phase? Double check. Which means no surprise confetti made out of your shoes, couch cushions, or tax documents. She’s basically the Costco “bulk value pack” of good manners — reliable, sturdy, and unlikely to malfunction. Her barking style? Think “mysterious monk who’s taken a vow of silence.” Seriously — she hasn’t even bothered with a fake bark to flex her vocal cords. At night, she continues her reign of freedom, wandering the house like a benevolent ghost — no crate required, no drama, no nonsense. Looking for a roommate who won’t eat your shoes, redecorate your couch in confetti, or scream at every falling leaf? She’s quiet, dignified, and comes with a “low-drama, high-snuggle” guarantee. Her favorite hobbies include leisurely walks, supervising your daily activities with a calm side-eye, and enjoying the kind of peace and quiet that only a true professional napper can appreciate. If you’re looking for chaos, zoomies, or someone to shred your Amazon packages — keep scrolling. If you want a steady, loving companion who knows how to live the good life, Juna’s your girl. So here’s the deal: if you’re smart enough to realize that perfection comes in fluffy, 10-year-old form, you’ll need to fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app so we can pass it along to her foster family. And yes — you’ll have to come pick her up in Kiowa, OK. Because despite her many talents, she hasn’t mastered Uber yet.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Juna, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
