seeking a new home for journey, the sweetest boy. he’s a 2.5-yr-old aussie shep/collie mix.
journey has so much love and playful energy to give. he’s very sensitive, a great listener w amazing recall, protective, affectionate, wanting to give+receive human touch. he’s a goof. he’s incredibly athletic, has been backpacking once, hiking/running/swimming a thousand times. he’s an alert and very capable companion for somebody who likes to hike or be in wild spaces. he grew up with children. he’s lived his life on a farm, around all kinds of animals and poop.
my friend adopted him as a puppy, and he’s lived a good chunk of his life as a shared responsibility between friends living on the same land. i took him on full-time about a year and a half ago, after my friend couldn’t care for him any longer due to challenging circumstances outside of her control. it’s been a wild ride full of learning and loving and licking, and a bit of a struggle, because i don’t have the time and energy for a full-time dog. it’s time to find him a new home/human(s). we’re not in a rush to rehome…as long as it takes to find the perfect fit.
journey received his puppy vaccinations and was microchipped. he has not yet been neutered, because for his health–specifically for his breed–we wanted to wait until year 3. he can sometimes act aggressively as an un-neutered male dog will, be he is not violent. he loves to wrestle and play and my dream for him is a home with a brother- or sister-dog.
