Story
Josie is a beautiful, 3 year-old Standard Poodle just waiting for her very own quiet, peaceful home. This beautiful soul is spayed, fully vetted, and healthy, weighing in around 50 pounds and built like a sleek Cheetah. She had a very rough life on a breeder farm up until July when she was rescued by Critter Cavalry, fostered, and lived with a family for the last few months who loved and supported her. She is coming back to CC because she is nervous around an elderly family member, however she has met other older folks and been fine with them. She is a study in dichotomy: equal parts elegant and goofy. She gets the zoomies and then is content to chill on a comfy dog bed for hours. Josie is the sweetest, most loving and loyal dog who wants nothing more than to be next to her favorite person. She had difficulty with being crated at first, but has done well with a more spacious crate and some goodies to keep her occupied. If given the choice, she still would rather not be crated. At night, she’s thrilled to have a soft bed next to yours and she sleeps the night away. If she ever needs medication, she’s happy to snack on some Pill Pouches. She has made great strides with potty training after never having lived inside a home before. She walks great on a leash and is happy to go outside. Josie is also very smart and eager to please once she feels comfortable with you. She knows tricks such as “sit,” “stay,” “down,” and gives a high-five if you hold your palm out to her. Once she gets to know you, her motto is “Personal space? Never heard of it!” You can win her over with some yummy treats and patience. She takes treats delicately and will stare at you with her soulful eyes just hoping for another morsel. Go ahead and just TRY to say no! Josie is a true sidekick – or partner in crime! Josie’s ideal home is a quiet one with predictable routines and grass to sniff. She feels that less is more, so a single person, relaxed couple, or small family with chill teens is ideal as she does not enjoy a lot of hustle and bustle. Josie would love someone who works from home or is retired so she can be by their side. She would like some room in the yard to run and prance. She is slowly coming out of her shell and learning that toys are fun, and overall learning how to “dog.” She might be a diamond in the “ruff” right now, but her sparkle is showing more and more every day.
