About Janelle
Janelle (affectionately known as Nellie by her carer) is a sweet‑natured, happy, and energetic young dog who enjoys being part of everyday life. She responds well to routine and consistency and forms strong bonds with the people who care for her.
Janelle will do best in a home that understands her individual needs and is willing to provide thoughtful, ongoing support to keep her comfortable and thriving.
Health & Ongoing Care Information
Janelle has a chronic skin and ear sensitivity, which has presented as ongoing itchiness, recurrent ear infections and red/irritated paws
Her carers noted that her symptoms improved when she had reduced access to grassed areas, but flare‑ups occurred again following wetter weather and increased environmental exposure.
- This means Janelle will require ongoing but manageable care, which may include;
- Routine monitoring of her skin and ears
- Periodic veterinary treatment as advised
- Thoughtful management of her environment
- Her condition is well understood, but it will involve ongoing time, attention, and some additional veterinary costs compared to a dog without these sensitivities.
Janelle’s adoption fee has been reduced by 50% to reflect the moderate, ongoing management needs associated with her skin and ear condition.
Where I grew up
Janelle grew up across two separate households.
Janelle spent around 12 months living in a breeder care home, followed by approximately six months in another household. During this time, her carers carefully observed how different environments affected her comfort and wellbeing.
She has lived with other pet dogs during this time.
A good fit for me is...
Janelle would be best suited to:
- A stable home environment, ideally with limited grass exposure
- An active home with plenty of outlets for her energy.
- Adopters comfortable with ongoing skin and ear care
- People who are proactive, observant, and happy to work with their vet
- A household that values routine, enrichment, and companionship
My personality traits

Janelle may show alert barking or chew soft toys if under‑stimulated, so regular enrichment and engagement are important. She has been described by her carer as a very special dog who will be deeply missed.
