Meet Janis J
🐾 MEET JANIS J
Shy sweetheart seeking calm, patient love (with her brother Jerry by her side)
ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hi, I’m Janis J — a soft, sensitive husky mix with soulful brown eyes and a heart that’s slowly opening up to trust and love. I didn’t have much exposure to people early in life, so I’m naturally shy and cautious. But every day, I’m learning that the world can be kind and comforting.
I’m not a cuddler (yet), but once I’m comfortable, I’ll relax nearby and quietly enjoy your company. I do best in calm, adult-only homes with a confident, gentle dog to help show me the way. In fact, I’m bonded to my brother Jerry, and we’re looking for a home together — he’s my comfort and partner in this journey.
I’m crate trained and learning housebreaking (I even know how to use a dog door!). I’m not quite ready for formal training, but with time and positive reinforcement, I’ll keep making progress. I’m especially motivated by tasty treats and soft encouragement.
I can be a little Houdini — I’m strong on leash and can hop fences, so a secure 6-foot fence (with a climb guard) is required. Also, I can’t have soft toys — I like to shred them and my brother has needed surgery because of our mischief, so it’s best we stick to tough toys only!
🐶 HOW AM I WITH DOGS:
I love other dogs and thrive with calm, confident companions. I especially adore my brother Jerry — we play and snuggle and support each other. Pushy or overly energetic dogs can be overwhelming for me, so I do best with gentle playmates.
🐱 HOW AM I WITH CATS:
No cats, please — my prey drive is too high.
👶 HOW AM I WITH KIDS:
I need a home without children. Loud noises and fast movements are scary for me.
🧠 I KNOW THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS:
Not yet, but I’m learning every day. I do know how to use a dog door and respond well to structure and routine.
🏠 MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING:
I’m crate trained and sleep in my crate overnight. I’m working on housebreaking and improving with consistency. I may have accidents as I adjust to a new space.
💖 THINGS I LOVE:
Gentle dog friends • Peaceful environments • Treats • Quiet companionship • My brother Jerry • Lounging after playtime
🚫 THINGS I STRUGGLE WITH:
Strangers • Fast movements • Soft toys (I destroy them!) • High-energy dogs • Unfenced or low-fenced yards
