About Jolene

Meet Jolene, a 2-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a medium coat that shines in shades of white and cream. Currently in training and foster care in Orange County, CA, she’s available for adoption across several states, including Arizona and Colorado. Jolene has a gentle and shy personality. She’s been through a lot, rescued from the desert where she was abandoned with her puppies. While she’s good with humans, she takes her time to warm up to new people. Her journey has made her cautious around other dogs too, so she needs an adopter willing to be patient and give her the love and support she deserves. Recently, she has shown more comfort with her caregivers, allowing them to pet and brush her, which she’s starting to enjoy immensely. Jolene has made great progress, learning commands like "sit" and "go to your place," and she thrives with a steady routine. She also enjoys walks, sunshine, and playtime once she feels secure. Jolene would do best in a home without young children or cats, and she’s definitely seeking a family that understands her needs. If you’re ready to provide a loving environment where she can continue to grow, Jolene might just be waiting for you. Let's make her next chapter the best one yet. What are you waiting for?
