Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently revealed that Juney, an inspirational dog who has been through a lot in his short life, has been waiting months for his forever home to discover him. Juney’s story is one of extraordinary tenacity and the steadfast spirit of a dog that has surmounted insurmountable odds.
Juney’s early childhood was marked by significant trauma. He was assaulted and severely attacked with a machete, resulting in a shattered jaw and severe damage to his mouth and nose. Juney’s soul remained unbroken despite the unspeakable violence he faced. When Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. discovered him, they realized they had to act and provide him with a better life.
Juney’s journey to rehabilitation was plagued with difficult decisions. Initially, vets suggested refracturing Juney’s jaw to repair the injury, but the treatment was risky and unpleasant. After careful thought and spending time with Juney, the Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. team decided on dental surgery, they explain. “After spending time with Juney, we recognized that simply having oral surgery would significantly improve his quality of life. At this stage, his injuries are cosmetic and do not cause him discomfort, and his dental surgery has improved his ability to eat comfortably.”
Juney’s rehabilitation went beyond his physical injuries. He needed time to adjust and regain trust. He slowly began to reveal his actual personality. Juney requires cautious introductions to other canines and enjoys the company of children over the age of seven. He is well-behaved on a leash, enjoys long walks, and appreciates the simple pleasure of being petted while sitting next to his owner at home.
Juney’s path demonstrates the value of patient and compassionate ownership. He has gone through a lot, yet his capacity for love and camaraderie is still intact. Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. is committed to finding Juney a forever home where he may continue to recuperate and thrive. Juney’s story is a moving reminder of animals’ persistence and the transformative power of love and care. Do not let Juney’s scars from his tragic past detract from his gorgeous and sweet soul.
Those interested in adopting Juney will be pleased to learn that he is house-trained. He dislikes containers, but his foster family is confident in his ability to learn. Juney is currently waiting for a house to be lined up in Massachusetts so that he can be transferred from his current location in Texas. Juney is also accessible to individuals interested in a foster-to-adopt program who submit a completed adoption application.
Sandy Paws Rescue is a charity rescue in Massachusetts dedicated to saving dogs like Juney and giving them a second chance by finding them a forever home. Sandy Paws Rescue elaborates on their mission: “rescue dogs from various shelters, cruelty situations, owner surrenders in Massachusetts, and strays from Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.” They do not have a shelter, so all of their dogs are fostered in private foster homes or kennels until they find their forever homes.
Sandy Paws Rescue is a “100% volunteer-only operation,” with the majority of its volunteers working full-time jobs outside of the rescue. They state, “Our only personal gain, is from seeing our dogs placed in wonderful homes.” Sandy Paws Rescue operates solely on donations to the charity rescue. Running a dog rescue costs money, from transporting them from one state to another to paying all medical bills, food, and other expenses. “Our adoption fees do not cover the amount that we spend on our puppies/dogs to vet and transport them,” Sandy Paws Rescue adds.
