Abandoned in rural Utah, Journey spent several weeks along the interstate alluding good Samaritans who tried to catch her. Once caught and taken to the local shelter, poor Journey spent several more weeks cowering in the corner of her kennel growling and barking at anyone who came near. She was just so frightened! Finally, a shelter worker gained her trust and Journey's fun and playful personality came out. Journey is still wary of people she doesn't know; but she warms up very quickly (typically 5 minutes or less). She prefers women to men and is not tolerant of children (particularly small/young children).. Journey is estimated to be 3-4 yr old. She loves to play with other dogs once she feels comfortable with them (a proper introduction to a new dog is key); but, can be a bit of a pest, so a home without another dog or a puppy (who is as much of a pest as she is) would be best for her. Journey is house-broken, crate-trained and walks well on a leash. She is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting Journey, please respond to this post or contact kathie@herdinghaven.
