My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! I'm Janine, Queen of the Belly Rubs! I am an 8 year old terrier mix. That's legal jargon. What I really am is a 100% adorable, loving, deer chasing, foodie! Foster Mom (FM) says I am a hoot! I am at my target weight of 13.5 pounds.

2019 ended up being a great year for me. You see, when I came to SLR in November, I had a three pound tumor hanging from my belly! Can you imagine! The kind folks here (and I'm looking at you Aunties Marty and Leigh Ann) got that all taken care of. I have also been spayed, had a benign mammary tumor removed, had an inguinal hernia repair, and had my teefers polished. Woo honey! I am feelin' fine! SLR has been wonderful to me. FM says I am a trouper. Unfortunately, my big tumor was malignant, but it's okay! It won't spread, and when it comes back my new family will love me so much they will have it removed. I have many years to love them!

I currently live with four dogs and three cats. Let me tell, you cats can be fun to chase sometimes! I don't hurt them though. My dog friends range from 12 to 95 pounds. We are cool. Every once in a while I tell the littlest one to stay away from my food. After all, I was skin and bones when I got here, and I remember those dark days. FM feeds me separately, and all is well. I bark my food order in every time!

Sometimes, well a lot of the time, when FM calls me, I tend to ignore her. My doctor man says I hear fine. FM says well then I must have the selective hearing of a middle school boy! And I limp a little, but boy howdy I can chase those pesky deer! I ride well in the car. I want to sit in FM's lap, but she says that's a no go. I am good for the doctor man and the groomer lady. The groomer lady's husband discovered that I like to be held like a baby. I love my bed, but, as a champion snuggler, I love FM's better.

Janine is being fostered in SC by Kathy. After being contacted and phone interviewed by the Adoption Coordinator, you will have an opportunity to contact the foster home to discuss Janine in more detail.

Note from Foster Mom - Janine is a love. She is a quirky, loving, sassy little snuggle bug. She is hoping that 2020 will be her best year ever. Janine is looking for her happily ever after. Will it be with you?
