Juju

Name: Juju

Age: 8 years 

Breed: Terrier Mix

Sex: Male (altered)

Location: Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Vet Info: Juju is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.  He weighs about 17.5 pounds.  

Owner Info: Juju is a very special fellow living in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.  His owner unexpectedly passed away and his owner's friend was unable to care for him, so decided to have him put down.  Open Paws Jeddah, a wonderful group of volunteers who rescue and rehome abandoned dogs, rescued him.  They have been trying to rehome him without success and have reached out to us for help.  

Juju appears completely blind, but he can hear.  He loves chicken, feta cheese, and potato!  He also ​enjoys roaming free in the house, taking walks with the other dogs​, and playing with the female pups!

Juju has some defensive issues, and will snap/nip when he is touched in certain areas, but he has never caused injury.  Juju is now in an experienced foster home and is slowly learning to trust, but it will take time. Treats are currently fed to him by hand through a Baskerville muzzle.

We asked his foster home for more information about Juju, and below are their answers:

Do you know if he'd good with other dogs and cats?  

A: He is fine with dogs, no issues at all and doesn't seem to have an issue with cats. 

Is he housebroken?

A: No, working on this but he is 8 years old.

Do you know the cause of his blindness?

A: No, both eyes are just silver circles.

Does he have any other health issues besides his blindness?

A: Seems very fit, bit of skin abrasion but his coat is coming in nice, (he is very cute).

Can you give us more details about his bites and when they occur? 

A: Snaps when touched on front legs or behind head, we keep him in a muzzle with no issue.

Does he lash out if someone is doing something to him?

A: Picking him up, touching him quickly sets off defensive snapping, must be clear here, it is only defensive snapping.  No other aggression, he is very confident.  

Have his bites caused injury, like stitches?  

A: No, small "go away" defensive nips only and the snapping is reduced greatly with females, both canine and human.  

Please don't let transport be an issue!  Open Paws Jeddah will take care of transportation to the US or Canada.  They write, "We truly feel that if he was sent to the states, he would have a better chance of finding someone with the patience and experience to give him the care he needs. We would take care of all expenses and processes regarding his transportation and getting him to you. Please let me know if there's anything you can do."
