My name is Josie!

Sex: Female

Breed: German Shepherd x

Estimated Date of Birth : 09/26/2024

Could you imagine waiting for your person to come out of the hospital and they never come back out for you? Shepherds are known for their loyalty and Josie waited for days. Never leaving the area and greeting every person who went in or out. It was reported that her human was an unhoused individual and sadly we aren’t sure why they never came back for Josie. She was so devoted and sweet and patiently waited for the return that would never happen.

While Josie waited one of our fosters noticed her plight. The foster was at the hospital for surgery and decided that Josie would go home with her. She just couldn’t imagine leaving such a great dog to fend for herself. Stray holds were completed and found posts made. Josie’s human has never come forward. What could have been the saddest story ever now has a bright spot. Because one person didn’t look the other way and instead said yes to opening her home Josie will get her 2nd chance. She won’t be just another stray on the streets but instead will be loved in foster care while she searches for a permanent home.

Josie is settling into foster care. As devoted and sweet as this girl is she definitely has an insecure submissive side and many new experiences make her a little nervous. She’d thrive in a patient home that will continue to make each new experience a positive and give Josie the time she needs to acclimate and feel comfortable. Josie is dog friendly, playful, affectionate and even does well with kitties. She’d do best with older respectful children. She’s a really good girl searching for the best home. Can you give Josie the forever she’s waiting for? We promise she’ll be the most loyal companion you d ever had.
