Meet Josie! Josie came to us after spending her entire young life in a shelter, and now that she finally knows what it feels like to be in a home, she’s blooming more every day. She is believed to be a beagle mix and is fully grown at about 35 pounds — a perfect, compact companion for someone looking for a gentle, loyal dog. Josie has picked up home life beautifully. She’s fully crate trained, potty trained, and leash trained, and she knows commands like sit, wait, stay, and more. She truly craves love from humans and seeks it out, wanting to stay close and soak up affection once she feels connected. Because she didn’t get to socialize much during her early developmental stage, Josie can be shy with new people and new situations at first. But with patience, calm voices, and a soft approach, she warms up quickly and becomes incredibly affectionate. She’s also dog friendly, enjoying play time or giving her canine friends gentle face kisses, and loves peaceful days spent lounging, walking, or being near her person. Her play style is quirky, so a dog that matches her is best! Josie's ideal home is a quiet, gentle home where she can continue building confidence while feeling safe and loved. She thrives with a human who is confident yet gentle. If you’re looking for a sweet, well-mannered girl who will reward your kindness with deep devotion, Josie is ready to meet you. Josie is fully vetted — spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and on prevention.
