A little about them

Journey is a gentle, approximately 2-year-old Newfoundland mix who weighs 67 pounds. After surviving neglect and abandonment, she is learning to trust the people who provide stability and comfort. She seeks guidance and reassurance from confident, balanced dogs and is ready for a patient adopter to help her begin her next chapter.

Ideal Home

Journey needs:

  • A patient, loving home
  • A secure, preferably privacy-fenced yard
  • A confident, low-key resident dog to help show her what a good life looks like
  • No young children, because she is a flight risk and a door left open could create a safety concern
  • Supervision and understanding while she continues building trust

Ongoing Health

Journey is spayed and vaccinated. No diagnosed medical conditions were reported.

Training & Support

Journey is not house-trained. She is fearful and may look for an exit when stressed, so secure fencing and supervision are essential. She may not immediately bond with her people, but she can learn to trust humans who consistently provide patience, stability, and comfort.

Application Details

  • Adoption fee: $0
  • Applications begin by contacting the provider through Wags.
