About Janice

Janice is a sweet and spirited 2-year-old, 45lb Labrador mix who is ready to find her forever home. Rescued from the euthanasia list at an overcrowded Houston shelter, Janice has embraced her second chance with a happy, loving personality. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, and up to date on preventatives. Janice is both crate trained and potty trained, sleeping soundly in her crate at night and settling well when left alone for up to six hours. She has learned what belongs to her and happily sticks to her chew toys and plushies, especially when it's time for a game of fetch. Janice is playful and full of energy, always up for a game of tag, wrestling, or keep away. She gets along great with other dogs and has shown friendly, wagging interactions with pups of all sizes. On leash, she may pull a little out of excitement, but she is not very strong and is already improving with guidance. She loves people and hasn’t met anyone she doesn’t like!

Ideal Home

Janice would thrive in an active home that can provide daily walks, playtime, and lots of love. A yard or a playful dog buddy would be a bonus, but she’d also be happy as the center of attention. Older, dog-savvy kids would likely be the best fit.

Ongoing Health

Janice is spayed, fully vaccinated, and up to date on preventatives.

Training & Support

Janice is crate trained and potty trained. She is also learning to control her excitement when greeting new people and is working on not being jumpy.

  • Transports run every few weeks, and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time.
