About Journey

Journey’s been on a long road and she’s ready for her soft landing. Born under the sign of Sagittarius on November 29, she embodies that sun-loving, adventure-seeking spirit. She bonds deeply and will follow you from room to room, always keeping tabs on her humans. Her kisses come easy, she’s keen to please, and her gentle nature makes her the sort of dog that attaches herself to your side and your heart. She’s outgoing with new people, house-trained, rides well in the car, and takes delight in life’s little pleasures—napping in a sunbeam or stretching out in a quiet yard. She hasn’t quite cracked the code on toys and fetch, but her playful, mild-mannered style comes out in soft, mouthy play and batting with her paws. Treats will win her over every time, and she soaks up positive training quickly. Journey needs to be the center of attention; she’s still sorting out how she feels about other animals, but she’s got more than enough love to go around. Being left alone isn’t her strong suit yet—she’s working on crate time and solo hours, and her best life looks like one with humans who spend lots of time at home. A fenced yard is a must for her zooms and sunbathing rituals. She’s mildly mischievous about kitchen counters and gets mouthy when she’s excitable, but both are easily managed with gentle guidance and supervision. At her core, Journey is eager, adaptable, and ready to grow. Her perfect match is a patient, flexible human who’ll cheer her on as she grows into her confidence and independence. Think you can be her steady hand and heart? She’s ready for someone to show her the good life. Start your journey together! Apply now.
