Arrival story: Josie came from a city shelter where she caught the eye of our volunteer. Josie was outside romping in the play yard and we just couldn't leave this silly girl behind.
Approximate age / weight: 2 years old and 55 lbs.
Personality: What a character! Josie is a happy, spunky girl who always seems to have a smile on her face. We can guarantee that if you make Josie part of your family, the amount of smiling in your home will increase ten-fold for all family members. She is very affectionate and playful. Josie enjoys snuggling and being in contact with her people. She gets along with other dogs, loves going for walks, and enjoys a good belly rub before settling down at night. We should tell you that Josie is a great snuggler!
Josie is good at the vet's office, loves car rides, knows how to rock a tutu, knows basic commands, is crate and house-trained, enjoys a good chew toy, and walks pretty well in a harness.
Forever home: Josie would fit into various family situations. She would love a doggie sibling to be able to run and wrestle with but its not a requirement. A physically fenced yard is ideal.

Arrangements can be made to meet our rescue dogs outside of Saturday adoption events after an approved application is submitted (the application does not imply an obligation by the applicant or by the rescue group).
Please be kind to our volunteers who have made rescue a second job that they do in their spare time after coming home from full-time jobs. E-mail inquiries will be answered much more quickly than phone inquiries; our phone number is a voice mailbox only.
Thank you for your support of rescue and your interest in a rescue dog!
