Curious, Charming & Chill

Janus is a little shy and sensitive, but once he trusts you, he’s all heart! Gentle, affectionate, and deeply devoted. What he loves the most is hanging in a calm, quiet outside place with you, he’ll nap or just sniff around calmly and inquisitively - and if he’s really feeling safe he’ll play with his squeaky toy and run around showing his goofy side.

BIO: 

  • Terrier mix, 3 years old, Male (neutered)
  • Small/Medium sized (32 lb), Medium-energy level
  • Janus was rescued by a local rescue organization in Antigua
  • Janus is house-trained, microchipped and has his core vaccinations

ABOUT JANUS: 

  • Janus is a soft, sensitive little dog—he is very sweet - he needs a moment to come out of his shell
  • He is good on a leash and doesn’t pull, he is a little bit shy in unfamiliar surroundings. He does not like busy traffic or sudden loud noises
  • He is always gentle in his playing and cuddles and all he really asks for is a good ear scratch
  • Has some mild allergies which has been treated and he is on an hypoallergenic diet
  • He has not been crate-trained but does love his crate at the shelter
  • He is vocal (mostly soft whines rather than barks) and will talk to you, it seems to be his way of communicating his discomfort: acknowledging it allows him to process it and feel at ease.

JANUS’S IDEAL HOME:

  • Janus needs a family that will give him time to settle at his own pace for his confidence to continue to grow
  • He loves hanging outside in the backyard, chilling and taking it all in, and will hang out there just as long as you will 
  • Janus would do best with someone who is home most of the time, especially as he settles in
  • He gets along with most dogs, if his potential adopter already has a dog, we will arrange for a meet & greet. Janus would do well with another dog of similar temperament in the home.
  • Janus would probably do best with older children that understand that slower and calmer is better 

Help this sweet, sensitive boy blossom—If you have a calm home and a kind heart, Janus is ready to be your most devoted companion!
