Journey has endured far more than most dogs ever will. Found running with strays in Lake Los Angeles, she was trapped, landed in the shelter, but managed a quick escape and survived months on her own. Persistent volunteers tracked her journeys across the Antelope Valley, and after three sightings, a seasoned trapper finally brought her to safety. Out of all the dogs who came in together, Journey is the last one still waiting for her forever family. She walks nicely on leash, is house-trained, does well with dogs—no matter their size—and handles young kids with remarkable gentleness. People, however, still make her cautious. Journey needs a patient, understanding household that will give her time to open up and build trust. Bring her into a home with another confident dog, and she’ll be set up best to thrive. Her journey speaks for itself: she’s resilient, gentle, and worth every ounce of extra patience. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
