Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Josie, a 7-8 yr. old Shih Tzu, is just about the sweetest, most even-tempered dog I have ever come across. She had been abandoned in a trashed out house with a larger dog and many cats when her owner went to a homeless shelter. Only the kindness of a neighbor kept them all from starving until rescues could be found for the dogs. Sadly, the cats were mostly feral and didn't have the same luck.
Josie is wonderful with other dogs and cats, and all humans are friends. While we haven't seen her with children, her personality is so calm that we're sure she would do well. She would do well in any home environment.
Josie will be fostered in Lake Hopatcong, NJ and her asking adoption fee is $175.
E-MAIL INQUIRIES WILL BE RESPONDED TO MUCH FASTER THAN TELEPHONE CALLS!
Please read about adopting from us on our home page by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page.
NOTE: Due to the volatile price of gas, getting multiple volunteers to help with long distance transporting is no longer feasible. We have listed the town and state where each dog is being fostered. Please consider how far you are willing to travel when filling out the application. The foster home will usually volunteer to help with transport for a reasonable distance.
