  Meet Journey – A Loyal German Shepherd mix Girl Looking for Her Forever Home   Journey's name couldn't be more fitting, because she's been on quite a journey to find the family she deserves.She first came into one young man's life when he was just 15 years old. His parents thought that giving him the German Shepherd mix puppy he'd always wanted would keep him busy and out of trouble—and they were right. Journey was loved, cherished, and became his constant companion through his teenage years.Then reality hit. At 18, he had to move out on his own, and the only housing he could afford didn't allow dogs. Faced with the heartbreaking choice between homelessness and giving up his best friend, he searched everywhere for help. He drove to rescues and shelters, asked friends and family, and exhausted every option before finding Critter Cavalry Rescue.   Thanks to a devoted rescue foster with Critter Cavalry, Journey was welcomed into foster care and given everything she needed to start fresh. She has been spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, started on heartworm prevention, and is heartworm negative. Most importantly, she has been given another chance to find the forever family she deserves. At 3 years old and weighing about 50 pounds, Journey is everything you could hope for in a companion. She's smart, obedient, affectionate, and eager to be part of whatever you're doing. Whether it's a hike in the woods, a game of fetch, running errands, or simply helping with chores around the house, Journey is happiest when she's with her people. She absolutely adores everyone she meets. Adults, children, other dogs, and even cats are all friends in Journey's world. She has an enthusiastic, playful personality without being overwhelming, and one of her best qualities is her wonderful 'off switch.' After she's greeted everyone, explored the house, and made sure everything is in order, she's perfectly content to lie at your feet or rest her head in your lap for a peaceful nap until the next adventure begins.   Journey's greatest gift is her unwavering devotion. She bonds deeply with her people and will gladly follow you wherever life takes you. All she's ever wanted is someone to love and a place to call home. Her first family loved her enough to make the painful decision to give her the opportunity for a better future. Now it's time for Journey to find the family that will love her for the rest of her life.   If you're looking for a loyal, fun-loving, well-mannered best friend who is ready to fill your days with love and companionship, Journey may be the one you've been waiting for.   To learn more or apply to adopt Journey, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.
