My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Josie came to me from a prior coworker. She belonged to her daughter and she was giving her away due to moving out of state and divorce. She had 4 kids under 7 and a domestic violence situation. the dog was a wreck. She was under weight, had worms, not vetted, not sprayed, not house trained, never socialized, never walked on a leash and was terrified of everything. I have worked with her for a year she has come leaps and bounds and has made great progress. She is a sweet, snuggly pup and she is smart!! she knows simple commands, crate trained and loves "walkies". She loves cats she has made friends with other dogs but requires patience. She is afraid of anyone that comes at her quick, she does not like it and will retract if pushed she will nip and shriek/yelp. She needs a patient loving attentive human to continue to show her the world is not an awful place. I am having financial strain and need to get a 2nd job, this will mean she is alone an excessive amount of time.
