THIS IS A COURTESY POST. Do not submit an application with Loved at Last. Please contact the person listed below for more info or to adopt.For additional info about adopting, please contact: Tiff or Chris at [email protected] day there. My name is JUNI. Here is some info about me.Breed: Pitbull/Staffordshire Terrier mixAge: 5 yrsGender: femaleWeight: ~45 lbsHeight: 16 inchesCountry of origin: CanadaI am currently in Langford, BCLove to cuddle my humans. I'll give you endless love, with the sweetest little grunts and kisses, and a big whipping from my small, yet mighty tail.I need to be rehomed so that I can have a better environment to thrive.Being a sweet, beautiful, petite girl, I need an experienced and patient handler. I have so much potential, but much of my reactivity towards other dogs and sometimes humans is fear based. I just need someone to help me build up my confidence and show me the world isn't such a scary place.My owner suspects I had a rough past, especially around other dogs, as I have shown reactivity and aggression towards "selective" dogs. I've had 1-1 training and have made significant progress and will need an owner who is committed to managing my stress and anxieties around the outdoors/dogs/some humans.I would do best with someone who is home more often than not, and likely would be best as an only dog. No cats please, as I am too interested and have prey drive. I have not had much exposure to children in the home, but my owner feels I would do best in a home with calmer/older children. I seem to be more stressed living in a condo environment, as the hallway noises are very confusing and triggering for me. I therefore would do best in a townhome or house with a yard. Having a space of my own without all the strange noises would likely help tone down my vigilance.I do have some allergies which have been managed well on a special diet.Aside from my fears, I am truly the sweetest and so easy-going in the home. I am housebroken & love my "bedroom" (crate.) Everyone who has met me has fallen in love with me. I am just the best little girl who deserves humans who are confident in helping me get over and managing my fears.Additional vid: https://youtube.com/shorts/q0ZNZtTYmmwEnergy Level: moderateI get along with:Dogs: some. selectiveCats: noKids: unknown, (owner states older, respectful kids should be fine)Fears: nervous towards certain people, particularly men.

Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.
