Story
- Prefers to explore and do their own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once they're in a home environment and have had time to decompress - Loves going on walks and does best with a harness- Tends to be a linebacker-type player with other dogs, which some dogs may not appreciate; will likely do best with a select group of rough-and-tumble dog friends with a similar play style (dog intro required) - Tends to be socially awkward with other dogs- Prefers to be the only dog in his new home- Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for them (mature home recommended) The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: Black Weight: 50.5 Age: 2yrs 3mths 0wks

Story
Janice is one of those girls who just loves her people and wants to be right there with them. She may need a little time to feel completely comfortable, but give her a couple of days, a few tasty hot dogs, and a little patience—and you'll see what a wonderful girl she really is! Once Janice knows she’s safe, she is an absolute good girl. She knows her commands and can heel, sit, lie down, and come when called. She even has the sweetest habit of sitting right on your feet while she waits patiently for you to finish whatever you’re doing and tell her, “Let’s go!” Janice is good with kids and other dogs and is ready for a family who will include her in the fun. Whether that means backyard games, exploring the neighborhood, or heading out on new adventures, Janice is happy as long as she gets to be with her people. She’s smart, affectionate, loyal, and ready to give her forever family all the love she’s been saving up. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend who will happily follow you wherever you go, Janice is waiting for you! Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
