https://foha.org/pet/janis2023/ 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 DISLIKE: Strangers Fast movements Soft toys (I destroy them!)
