Josie is a bright, fun-loving, medium-sized Hound mix around six years old and about 35 lbs. Her journey hasn’t been straightforward; Josie landed at animal control before joining the shelter, picked up quickly by Mostly Mutts where she settled in and impressed everyone with her smarts and lively personality. After attending an off-site training program, Josie briefly found a home but her high energy meant it wasn’t the right fit, so she’s back, now living in foster care and waiting for a family eager for adventure and companionship. Josie adores people and has a playful, affectionate, and sometimes mouthy style of play, never rough or mean—just enthusiastic. She struggles to get along with other dogs and cats, so she needs to be the only pet in the household. Her foster suggests she might do well with older, respectful kids (about 10+) who can handle her spirited zoomies and occasional playful nibbling. Josie is also crate trained, house trained, and knows an impressive list of basic commands. She can get hyper-focused on her toys, so the habit is managed with a treat exchange and some medication, but a calmer forever home (with plenty of toys) should help her relax further. She’s all in for tug-of-war and backyard play, but noisy environments with bikes or busy paths stress her out, and she’s still not a fan of vacuums. Josie needs a family that will match her energy and offer consistent love and leadership. She’s up to date on vaccinations and spayed. She’s in Kennesaw, GA, looking for her fit—someone who’s ready for cuddles after play and plenty of memorable moments. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
