Two fun peas in a pod, meet siblings, Juno and Janie who are in the hunt to make YOUR day! This bubbly, friendly pair have such a great time together that it’s almost criminal. Both skilled leash walkers and givers of darting kisses, Juno and Janie are playful, affectionate, wiggly ladies looking for their first full time pet jobs. Lovely and eager to interact with other dogs, these ladies would love to go home together. They are both a little shy, especially around strangers, and Juno takes a little more time to warm up to strangers, but once he does, he is a love bug. These two are calm, respectful walkers who rarely pull. They also love to run around and play together in our arenas. Juno tends to be a bit more affectionate while Janie wants to go check out her surroundings, but in the right environment both of them love attention and will be happy to lay on you and receive pets. They also get along well with most other dogs. Give Janie and Juno some time to get situated and you’ll be shocked with how bubbly and sweet these two are!
A Word from Juno:
Just so you know, I am a nervous sort of guy, but I love to snuggle, so if you show me you want to be friends, eventually I will be up close and personal! My sister Janie is more of the bold of the two of us, but once I am comfortable, I loosen right up! I trust her to let me know when things are okay, and even then I take my time getting to know you. We love to walk with other dogs, and playing in the arena is always fun! Just know, if you want my sister, you had better take me too!”
What Juno Needs in Her Home:
Juno and Janie go as a pair! They have been together so long they just can’t live without each other! Plus, they need time to get to know you, so plan on multiple visits to come out and get to know them. Janie will warm up to you first, then Juno gets the picture and begins to trust you. Once that happens, Juno will come and sit on your lap, while Janie navigates the surroundings. A quiet household would be the best, with children who are over 12. Cats are okay. Juno and Janie may remain skittish about some things, but not you! Having lived in our outside pen for many years, they would need some practice at being inside, but our short stays inside here at the sanctuary suggest that is not a big issue. They might need some help at housetraining, too. You will have a bundle of love when you adopt these two!
Fall 2024 Update: As you may have heard, Juno and Janie are a bonded pair. They are quite the duo. Both of these ladies really love their swimming pool and going for walks together. They both take turns as to who is the leader depending on the situation. When it comes to walking Janie is the leader. When it comes to meeting new people Juno takes the lead. Both girls love going to the arena for some play time. They both enjoy toys and a good game of chase the human. Volunteers will tell you that the way to their hearts is definitely treats. They really love their treats. Both Janie and Juno spend their overnight time at the scratching post. While they have been known to escape their enclosure on occasion, they have always been respectful of the cats who reside there. Juno is still working her way through her cruciate injury from a while ago but she has full range of motion and she doesn’t seem bothered by it. We have been successfully managing it on a low dose pain med. Both girls can still be shy with new folks but once they know you, they are pure joy by your side.
Spring 2024 Update: Ft Knox in our kitchen area seems to be working for now (Knock on wood!). So far so good, as we work on containing and in a weak/feeble attempt try to guess the next step for sneaky, clever girls JUNO and sidekick Janie from breaking out of their overnight accommodations at The Post. For now we are pleased to report no recent breaches in security! The wooden panels activated at night time seem to have them stumped! More recently, staff have noticed these girls warming up even more quickly to new staff and new volunteers as they join our ranks. Going right up to new folks vs a tentative backing away and then coming forward, at long last, their confidence is growing and how rewarding to see it. Medically, Juno is back on pain meds for her back leg which we continue to watch and monitor. Springtime is a great time for Juno and also Janie as they both really enjoy sunning on their wooden sofas in their pen and being super visible and appealing as dogs are selected to head out for walks. We love our girls and can’t wait to see them relaxing and basking in the great weather ahead.
Winter 2024 Update: Juno is just way ahead of us in the game of “escape the overnight accommodations” at The Scratching Post. This silly, goofy girl and her sidekick and best friend Janie, fooled us once again into thinking we had created a safe and secure area for the 2 of them in the Post Kitchen for night night hours. They were caught breaking out again …nosing the lightweight fencing upward…so now, the plywood is coming in! We mean business with this sly, savvy team of hounds but it’s all to keep them safe!! So far so good in finagling the wood in place. Outside of her sneaky ways, Juno seems pretty pleased with her new outside feeding station which is a wonderful upgrade from her prior one which was just sad and tired. Juno is in good health and while she recently pulled a muscle in her back leg, after a round of meds and low physical activity, she’s 100% back on track to figure out her next escape maneuver in the kitchen!
