Contrarian Pet of the Week
Meet Janice!
We told you we wanted to have fun, and we take fun seriously at The Contrarian. Each week, we will share The Contrarian pet(s) of the week. (The pet need not be contrarian.) Subscribers are invited to submit their furry friend!
Name: Janice
Age: Two years old (she’s a Pisces!)
Breed: Retriever mix
Hobbies: Janice is a social butterfly! She loves taking walks with her foster family (kids and other dogs included), hanging at a street festival, and keeping up on a hiking trail. Did you know she’s a champion cuddlebug and the “most chill and adaptable dog we’ve ever met,” per her fosters? It’s true, she’s the best of both worlds!
Best Moment: Sleeping on a California King with a heated blanket for the first time!
Janice is available for adoption at Rural Dog Rescue, a Washington, D.C.,-based rescue serving adopters in D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia (if you’re outside of that, let’s talk!). We rescue our dogs from high-kill shelters in economically challenged areas. If you or someone you know might be interested in our paw-fect pal Janice, please contact us at foster@ruraldogrescue.com.
Ciera Stone is the editorial associate at The Contrarian. She received a master of arts at the University of Notre Dame, concentrating on international peace, global affairs, and justice.
I do hope we hear an update on Janice when she finds her forever home!
NOW, THAT'S A good-looking dog on her way to a great life. Dogs that have been through a "divorce" know it when the right home comes along.
We were lucky to speak with a previous owner when we adopted Teddy, and found we could improve on his situation of poor nutrition and maintenance and fighting with the other male poodles. In Janice's case, it seems like all a new friend will have to do is get up in the morning with her in exchange for a lifetime of grins. As Astro would say, rotsa ruck, Janice!
