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 good vibes.
I ended up at FDHS as a stray several weeks ago, which is weird, because I definitely feel like I used to belong to somebody. I’m pretty good at this whole “being a Good Boy” thing. I’ve got manners, I like people a whole lot, and I don’t really cause a fuss. So… not sure how I got here, but here I am.

My time at FDHS has been…an event. You know how some dogs have a rough start at the shelter? Mine has mostly involved accidentally injuring myself in increasingly creative ways. First, I sliced my paw open, which led to three separate vet visits because I wasn’t very committed to the healing process. Then I discovered something called Happy Tail Syndrome. If you’re unfamiliar, it’s what happens when a dog has a powerful wagging tail and absolutely no self-preservation instincts spends too much time whacking said tail against kennel walls.

Long story short, I ended up needing a partial tail amputation. I look a little silly now, but I feel a whole lot better. The recovery process involved wearing a giant cone, which was deeply offensive to me. For weeks I wandered around looking like a satellite dish, occasionally running into walls, doors, and people. Nobody was safe.

The good news is that I’m all healed up now and still just being me! I love my humans, I love attention, and if you sit down, I’ll probably try to become part of whatever you’re doing. Personal space is still more of a suggestion than a rule. Other dogs? Meh. I don’t mind them, don’t necessarily need them. Cats don’t really seem to bother me either.

If your household needs some slobbery kisses, a personal comedian, and a professional snuggle buddy – I am single and searching!
