Meet Journey! This sweet 5-year-old, 16lb Cocker Spaniel mix came to us from a large-scale backyard breeding case and is learning what it means to feel safe and loved. Journey can still be timid and easily startled by loud noises or sudden movements, but she's made wonderful progress in foster care! While she may shy away if approached directly, she now regularly seeks out her people for pets and affection. She's happiest when given the time and space to approach on her own terms, and her sweet, shy personality is continuing to shine. Journey is a lower-energy girl who loves her cozy crate, relaxing on the couch, and getting out for daily walks. She gains a lot of confidence from having a calm, confident canine companion around and looks to her foster brother for guidance. She'd likely thrive in a home with another friendly, confident dog to help her continue coming out of her shell. Journey is potty trained and enjoys having a predictable routine. She'll need a patient home that understands she's still sensitive to certain situations and can be a flight risk if startled. Careful handling, secure equipment, and a gentle approach are especially important as she continues building confidence. Journey is also being monitored for intermittent episodes of leg buckling and falling. Her neurologic exam was normal, but the cause of these episodes hasn't been definitively diagnosed. She will need an adopter committed to continuing her medication, monitoring her episodes, and following up with our veterinary team. Journey has come such a long way, and she's showing us more of her sweet, affectionate personality every day. With a little patience and a lot of love, Journey has so much more to discover in a loving forever home!
