About Jolene

Meet Jolene, a gentle soul currently in training in Orange County, CA. At 2 years and 5 months old, she's a spayed female Australian Shepherd mix weighing about 52 pounds. Jolene has come a long way since being found abandoned in the desert with her puppies, all of whom have found homes. Although she enjoys human companionship, the journey to trust has been gradual for her. Jolene is soft-spoken and a bit shy, requiring a patient family willing to give her the time she needs to adjust. She’s getting better at accepting affection and now enjoys being brushed. Jolene does well on walks and loves to play with her toys when she's feeling confident. While she gets along with dogs, she is not a fan of cats or young children. If you can provide a stable, loving environment free from chaos, Jolene might be the perfect companion for you. She's ready to start this new chapter of her life, are you ready to give her the forever home she deserves?
