Josie is a lively, black Australian Cattle Dog mix with a strong, athletic build and a playful streak a mile wide. About a year old, Josie is always ready to chase after a ball, gallop through water, or just be in the thick of family fun. Her short coat adds to her easy-care charm and she absolutely thrives in an active home where she’s a true participant, not just a bystander. Josie is affectionate and quick to bond—she’ll stick by your side and light up at any opportunity to make you laugh. Kids looking for a loyal, energetic partner will find a perfect match in her. She does best in homes without cats, as she finds them too tempting to chase, but gets along with other dogs just fine. Josie will be spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption. She currently enjoys life with her foster in Bakersfield, CA, waiting for her forever family. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
