june

If you're feeling a little low, rub sweet June's velvety ears, and all will be right with the world. June certainly appreciates those ear rubs and getting petted and scratched, too! She's a friendly, happy girl who loves everyone she meets, human and dog alike. But if you are her people, she'll be your loyal companion for the rest of her life.

At about nine years old, she's good about not chewing on things she shouldn't, although she does enjoy a toy bone now and then. June loves running around in the yard and going on walks (she's good on leash, too!). Your walks with June won't be speedy, though, because she's a hound and she's going to do what hounds do. June's nose will be sniffing the ground the whole time, and if she's enjoying herself, doggone it, June's had enough unpleasantness in her life, she deserves some good sniffing.

The other thing you need to know about June is that she doesn't like the cold. She literally shakes. June has short hair, so maybe that's why she's so sensitive to frigid temps. Or maybe it's because she was so cold for so long outside, fending for herself. Either way, you'll need to be mindful of this about June. She does appreciate a nice warm sweater or coat, or a warm-up hug.

During the winter of 2024, June was found at a truck stop, brought to a shelter, and, to everyone's surprise, promptly had eight puppies.* That was two years ago. June has since been spayed and is happy to have regular meals and a safe, warm place to sleep, but she'd really like a family to call her own.

*Five of June's puppies are still at the shelter. Feel free to contact The Pet Connection if you'd like information on them.

Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 to set up a time to meet darling June. She's in the Kansas City metro, but transport is available to the right home.
