My story

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

All she wants for Christmas is a home of her own. Can you help?
Josie is your typical Jack Russell terrier! She is a busy body and can be a bit persnickety but she loves her squeaky toys and her chews. Josie is not so great with other dogs and is possessive of her stuff! She has accepted my dogs but mine don't challenge anyone or get in their face. Josie would love an only dog home with maybe a retired couple who would include her in their daily lives. A fenced in yard or small protected area would be great for Josie! Add a toy box of squeakies and she will be a happy camper! Josie is crate trained and has rarely had an accident so I suspect she is most likely house trained or easily transitioned. Josie has been with me awhile as she had a severely luxated patella that required surgery for pain relief. Her surgery was completed and as successful as possible. Josie does use her leg especially when running around like a maniac. But when just standing there, she will often hold that leg up. The vet feels it's just a learned behavior from favoring the leg for so long! In any event, Josie has been in foster way too long and deserves a loving home of her very own! Josie is a young adult and weighs about 10#!
