Introducing Journey, a name that speaks to the incredible adventure this special animal has been on! 🌟 Journey’s early days were tough, spending over a year neglected and without proper shelter. After that, she lingered for another 17 months at a pound, but then, the fabulous team at REAL Rottweiler Rescue swooped in and rescued her! Can you believe it’s taken this long for her to find a loving home? Now she’s thriving in her foster home, where she’s learning the beauty of love, the joy of being indoors, and what it truly means to be a valued companion. Now let’s talk about her looks! This striking American Bulldog/Terrier mix has some seriously unique features—like a heart-shaped spot on her side and a fabulous diamond-shaped mark around one eye. And don't forget her eyeliner game, which is ALWAYS on-point! 💖 But here’s a twist: Journey is deaf! But don’t let that deter you. She’s super smart and understands commands through touch and sight—a true testament to her adaptability! When Journey loves, she LOVES intensely. She yearns for affection and doesn’t enjoy being left alone for too long. With energy that flows like a river, she adores long walks, jogs, and new adventures. While she might need a little leash retraining (those muscles are something else!), every step is a chance for her to bond with you. Now, let’s get a little real: Journey can be a bit reactive to strangers and selective about her doggy friends. So, in-person meetings are essential! Ideally, she’d do best in a home as your one and only queen, although with the right calming female companion, she might share the spotlight. And because she gets nervous with new faces, a kid-free environment will help her thrive. Amazing news—she’s even aced her cat test! So there’s a bit of hope there! 🐱 Journey is a quick learner and already knows how to enjoy bath time, chew her bones with grace, and she’s working diligently to embrace every moment of being cherished. Water might lead to the occasional ear infection (hey, no one’s perfect!), but it won’t stop her from loving the splish-splash! 🌊 Fetch? Not quite her style, but if you throw her a stick—watch out! And while the grass can be a bit prickly, she knows the sweetest thing is simply being loved. After three long years, Journey is looking for a devoted, strong, and patient human who can appreciate her adorable quirks. This sweetheart is waiting for someone who understands that she has a brave heart overflowing with love just ready to be shared. Ready to take on the journey of a lifetime together?
