About Josie

Josie is a big-hearted Rottweiler with a gentle nature and a playful spark. She’s always ready to show her goofy side—especially if there’s a game of tug-of-war involved—yet settles in for snuggles as soon as you sit down. Josie thrives on companionship, and her loyalty runs deep. Those lucky enough to know her find a friend who’s tuned in, quick to comfort, and never short on affection. After a day full of fun, Josie loves nothing more than leaning in for a bit of quiet time with her favorite people. She is smart, affable with other dogs, and happiest when she feels like part of the pack. Josie shares a special bond with Doris, another Rottie her age, and ideally, they will be adopted together for the best transition. Given her breed and experience, Josie would do best in a home with someone who understands Rottweilers and how devoted they can be. Born February 4th, her Aquarius sun gives her an independent yet loving streak, making every day with her feel refreshing and new. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
