JANIE

JANIE is an incredibly affectionate young shepherd who would happily be petted all day long. She has the sweetest way of gazing dreamily into your eyes, clearly soaking up every bit of love and connection.
Because Janie loves people so much, she sometimes gets extra excited when greeting them and may jump up to offer enthusiastic face kisses. She is actively working on this and learning that keeping all four paws on the ground brings her all the affection she's hoping for - humans are always happy to come down to her level for pets and cuddles. Janie simply wants to be close, loved on, and reminded that she's a very good girl.
As a shepherd, Janie is smart, sensitive, and people-oriented. She bonds deeply with her humans and does best when she has regular companionship, structure, and gentle guidance. Like many shepherds, she thrives when she feels included in daily life rather than left alone for long stretches.
Ideal home:Janie would be happiest with a person or family who works from home or is around most of the day, and who enjoys an affectionate, interactive dog. With other dogs, she tends to do best with calm, tolerant companions - often male dogs around her size or larger - who don't mind her enthusiastic, up-close play style.
Janie was born in July 2023. Her adoption fee includes her spay, vaccines, and microchip.
