Ju Ju
 Ju Ju is a Basenji/ Pit Bull mix who is roughly 16 months old. I rescued
him from an irresponsible owner who was going to put him down because she
didn't want to take care of him any longer. He was taken away from his
mother and litter mates at around 5 weeks and lived with a woman and her 5
year old son. Ju Ju was kept indoors and had very little interaction with
other dogs or strangers. As a result, he
 was very timid and unsure in new
situations and around new people.
I have spent 3 months working with him and he has improved dramatically.
He loves to run, play with squeaky toys, and learn new tricks. He is
learning to like strangers especially if they allow him to approach them,
and has much more confidence at the pet stores. JuJu loves children and
people but needs some time initially to warm up to them. He gets along great
with my cats and gets very excited about other dogs.
I would recommend Ju Ju be placed with people who have some experience
with dogs. It would benefit him greatly to have a confidant owner whom he
can take his lead from. Please contact me with any further questions and
thank you for your consideration. E-mail: bbj359@yahoo.com

list_anything_else: he is a very loving dog who wants to play and run,
he was never able to run before, he was taken away from his mom and
litter mates at five weeks and was never taught how to be a dog, he has
a somewhat dominant personality and requires boundries and discipline,
when he first came to me he showed strong signs of bone aggression, now
he is much better but I would keep that in mind and control when and
where he was given bones, he has never shown any aggression with food or
toys, he needs time to adjust to new situations and should be allowed to
approach new people on his own terms, he knows many tricks and loves
learning new things, he is also very motivated by squeaky toys
