Janis Joplin (also known as “Janis” or “JJ") is a classy, loyal, and sweet lady with a rock star name and perfect eyeliner–who is ready for love and to be loved. Janis may come off a little shy at first. With a little time, you will find a loyal, loving, best friend for life. Janis will be your shadow–always nearby with a wagging tail, beautiful smile, and heart full of love. She is a true love and snuggle bug.

What Janis loves/enjoys: being by your side. She’s the perfect companion in the car, kitchen, yard, on the couch and bed, by the pool… (If you wish, Janis will follow you into the bathroom or when it’s time to take out the trash, too.) Janis enjoys slow strolls where she can sniff and explore. She loves naps and daydreaming–especially when you are near.
What Janis knows: her skills, such as sit, drop, down, place… and she is always up for learning more. Janis is potty-trained. She is smart and tunes into her environment well.

Janis Joplin’s background: She was adopted as an APA! puppy and spent six years in a home until life changed for her person. Janis has lived with cats before. She’s non-reactive to dogs, and could do well with the right dog buddy in a calm home.

Janis Joplin is calm, patient, alert, and affectionate. She would thrive in a loving home where she is doted on and feels understood. If you are looking for a loyal companion who will love you wholeheartedly, please inquire about Janis Joplin (A-65653).

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
