Thanks guys! I appreciate it! I'll work on repotting the plant!
Do I still need to trim it at all or do we think it's going to be okay?

Juniper's strength is in the foliage. Repot first, wait a few months and ensure it's healthy and actively growing before considering pruning.

Pruning away dead stuff is okay anytime.

If you want to wire it at all, wait until fall at least.

These are all relatively conservative time-lines; key point is we only work - ie: prune/wire - healthy; vigorous trees.

If you do decide you want to wire at some point - come back for more advice - there are specific times of year when it's better to do certain things.

I'd wait a year to trim it. Repot it and let it grow.
