FUN FACTS: Janie is a fluffy, spritely, adorable little (big) girl. She came to us with both knees luxated, and while we hoped to do surgery, two surgeons told us the results would be poor and lack in promise. As a result, we opted not to put her through the surgeries. Despite her handicap, she continues to run and play, and act very much like a Pyrenees. She has no desire to slow down, unless you plan on hugging and snuggling with her. She likes to lay her head in your lap and let you pet her for days.
Janie is a smaller Pyr, which is good for her knees, so she comes in around 84lbs. She has a very wooly coat that requires a lot of brushing, so establishing a groomer would be recommended. Janie may be slightly aloof when first meeting people, but she can also be happy to say hello. When it comes to canine friends, she would be lost without a buddy, preferably a fun, easy going male who will play with her but not too rough. She very much enjoys playing!
Janie will most likely need a wheelchair as she ages and has difficulty walking. Meanwhile, she sees no problems in sight and is happy to jump on the play train and protect the yard. She is an inspirational girl, and while we were going to let her reside in the sanctuary (and she's welcome to do so), we thought we'd give her a chance at a home where she'll be adored and be doted on daily. We know her fun, silly, devoted personality will make someome smile every day!
