 Journey is a beautiful girl who is looking for a very special home. She hasn’t had much socialization in her past, so she’s still learning how to trust and feel safe in new situations. Because of this, Journey will need a female-only home with no children.

 Journey can be toy and food aggressive, so she should be the only pet in the household. This will help keep everyone safe while giving her the calm, consistent environment she needs. With patient guidance and positive training, these behaviors can be improved—this should be addressed right away by her adopter with the help of a professional trainer.
 On the bright side, Journey has so many wonderful qualities to build on! She’s housebroken, crate trained, and has a playful side that shines through once she feels comfortable. With time, structure, and love, Journey has the potential to blossom into a loyal and loving companion.

Important Information for New Puppy Parents
 
Welcoming a new puppy into your home is an exciting and rewarding experience—but it also comes with important responsibilities. To help your puppy grow into a happy, confident, and well-adjusted adult dog,  dedication to obedience training, socialization, and consistent potty training is essential .
 
We  strongly recommend that the  entire family  participates in puppy training classes . This not only helps build a strong bond with your new pup but also ensures that everyone is using the  same commands and techniques , creating a clear and consistent environment for learning.
 
**Puppies thrive with structure, patience, and positive reinforcement—and so do their families!  Let’s set them up for a lifetime of love and success.
