Pet Mascot
Meet Our 2025 Pet Mascot, Junebug!
Junebug’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. Rescued from a large-scale breeding operation, this tiny Cairn Terrier mix faced overwhelming odds. She was taken in by local rescue Dogs Deserve Better, where their dedicated team quickly found her a foster home ready to support her special needs.
Junebug was soon diagnosed with a cerebellar malformation, which affects her balance and coordination—causing her to wobble in circles and struggle to stand. But despite these challenges, Junebug’s spirit never wavered. She’s a fighter, and today, she’s thriving in her loving home. In fact, her foster family fell head over heels for her and made it official by adopting her!
We’re beyond excited to introduce Junebug as the official CASPCA Mascot for 2025! You’ll be seeing her sweet face leading the way on this year’s Bow-WOW-Walk event t-shirts, as she helps raise awareness and inspire our community to keep fighting for animals in need—just like her. With her unbreakable spirit and heartwarming story, Junebug is the perfect ambassador to remind us all why every animal deserves a second chance and a loving home.
Junebug’s days are now filled with cozy naps, gentle play, and the kind of quiet joy that only comes from finally feeling safe. She greets each morning with a tail wag and a wobble, undeterred by the challenges that once held her back. Her resilience is matched only by her sweetness, and everyone who meets her can’t help but fall under her spell. She’s a reminder that every life has value, no matter how small or uncertain it may seem at first—and that sometimes, the tiniest paws leave the biggest prints on our hearts.
Junebug was the winner of the 2024 “Make Your Pet a Star” package. As part of the auction package, Junebug had her portrait taken by Familiar Studios! She also received a featured story in Whiskers and Tales Magazine and will be featured on the 2025 bow-WOW-walk tee shirt! Congratulations, Junebug!
