About Poshey

They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply? Meet Poshey, a charming senior Cocker Spaniel whose playful spirit and wagging nub will brighten every day. While Poshey is mostly sweet and loving, she does have her quirky moments and can occasionally channel her inner velociraptor, keeping life interesting—a trait her foster mom can help you understand. Rest assured, she does not have a bite history, just a unique way of expressing herself. Despite her senior status, Poshey is full of spunk, especially when it comes to her beloved plush toys and a rousing game of fetch, whether in a secure yard or a long hallway. Walks energize her, and she loves returning for another round of fetch—her essential routine! After the fun, she is happy to quietly keep you company, always waiting for a tasty treat to hit the floor. Having recently undergone dental work, bladder stone removal, and cherry eye surgery, Poshey is now ready to enjoy her golden years with someone who will continue her regular care. She does have a dislike for grooming and will thrive with an adopter who is patient and willing to seek out a professional groomer experienced with seniors who find brushing stressful. An adult-only, calm, and patient home is exactly what Poshey needs. She may require a specialized diet to keep her healthy after bladder stone surgery, and she'd love a yard for rolling in the grass. Poshey is both house and crate trained and can be trusted to freely roam your home. While she coexists peacefully with other dogs, she's not particularly social with them. If you're searching for a devoted companion to join you for walks and toss a toy around, Poshey could be your perfect match. As an added fun fact: born on January 21, Poshey is an Aquarius, which means she's independent and always up for a little fun and adventure! Start your journey together! Apply now.
