Hi future best friend, I’m Jupiter!

I’ve been told I’m a Boxer mix, but honestly, I think I’m mostly just… dog. Big, wiggly, slightly slobbery, and always ready to have a good time.

My time at FDHS has been quite the adventure. I’ve managed to injure myself in increasingly creative ways, including slicing open my paw and discovering the joys of Happy Tail Syndrome. That little escapade eventually earned me a partial tail amputation and several weeks of wearing the world’s most offensive cone. I may look a little different these days, but I’m healed up, feeling great, and my tail is still fully operational in the wiggle department.

And while I’ve had my share of shelter shenanigans, I’ve also discovered that I’m actually a pretty fantastic dog. I’ve become one of our best canine play pals and have gotten to spend time in play groups with some of the more shy pups here. Apparently, I’m quite the social butterfly because I’ve also attended a few events and absolutely LOVE meeting new people. Big people, little people, new people, familiar people… I’m not picky. If you’re willing to give me attention, we’re probably going to be friends.

I recently got to spend some time in a home, too, and my foster mom had nothing but wonderful things to say about me! I was house-trained, well-mannered, and apparently just the happiest boy around. I’m pretty sure I already knew how to be a good house dog, but it was nice to have the humans confirm it. Cats and other small critters, however, are NOT my thing. I have a pretty high prey drive, so my forever home will need to be a cat-free, small-animal-free zone.

I’ve been at FDHS for way too long, and I’m ready for someone to finally realize that their family has been missing a Jupiter-sized personality this whole time.
