About Journey

Meet Journey – A smart, well-behaved young boy ready for his forever home!

Journey is a young dog who already knows all the important house manners. After spending nearly a year in a home, he’s fully potty trained and comfortable with commands like “Sit,” “Stay,” “Wait,” “Come,” and “Go in Crate.” He’s not just smart — Journey is friendly and social, loving people of all ages. He would make a wonderful family dog! He also gets along well with other dogs and would enjoy having one or two female canine companions to keep him company and active. Having grown up around large livestock, Journey could be a great fit for a ranch or farm lifestyle where he can explore and have plenty of room to roam. Journey has met cats before and might do well with the right introduction, but he does show some interest in chasing them. With training, this could improve, but he might be happiest in a home without small animals. If you’re looking for a loyal, well-mannered boy ready to join your family, Journey can’t wait to meet you!

Ideal Home

Journey would thrive in a home with room to roam, perhaps a ranch or farm lifestyle. While he might do well with the right introduction to cats, he may be happiest in a home without small animals due to his tendency to chase.

Ongoing Health

All dogs at Rescue Ranch receive the best in veterinary care. They are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and fully vaccinated with age-appropriate vaccinations. Puppies will have received all age-appropriate vaccinations for parvo/distemper, and Bordetella. If they are 4 months or older, they will also have their rabies vaccination. Puppies are also microchipped and registered with 24PetWatch. The rescue requires spay/neutering of puppies at 6-8 months old (or the appropriate age for giant breeds) by their veterinarian, with the procedure covered by the adoption fee.

Training & Support

Journey is already well-trained and knows commands like “Sit,” “Stay,” “Wait,” “Come,” and “Go in Crate.” He is also fully potty trained. His interest in chasing cats may improve with training.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
  • The standard adoption donation fee for all dogs and puppies is $300 (unless a reduced fee applies).
