Meet Janie!
7 years old | Reisterstown, MD

Some dogs bounce back quickly after change… Janie is quietly learning how to heal.

After losing both her dog sibling and, shortly after, her beloved owner, Janie’s entire world changed. Everything familiar — her home, routine, and sense of security — disappeared. Now, this gentle girl is looking for a soft place to land and a family willing to help her feel safe again.

Janie is the definition of a sweet, easygoing companion. She may not immediately climb into your lap for attention, but she has slowly started seeking out gentle affection on her own terms — and those little moments feel incredibly special. Once she trusts you, her quiet love shines through.

Janie’s Favorites & Personality
•Low-energy, calm companion
•Loves car rides
•Enjoys chewing on bones and frozen Kongs
•Likes soft toys and cozy naps
•Gentle, kind, and quietly affectionate

The Basics
• Mostly house trained
• Dog-friendly (and would love a dog companion!)
• Great with kids, including visiting nieces and nephews
• Walks nicely on leash
• Happy to sleep in bed with her people

Janie truly seems happiest with another dog nearby and people around more often. She currently spends long stretches crated and manages, but it causes her anxiety — she would thrive in a home where someone is home more frequently or has a flexible/work-from-home schedule.

Janie’s Dream Home
• A fenced yard to safely explore and sniff around
• A friendly resident dog for companionship
• A family home more often than not
• Patient adopters willing to let her settle in at her own pace

Janie doesn’t need much — just kindness, patience, and a family willing to give her time to bloom again. If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who will quietly steal your heart, Janie may be your perfect match.
