Meet Josie! Josie spent her puppyhood in a shelter but has blossomed since settling into home life. She's a medium-sized beagle mix at about 35 pounds—compact, sturdy, and easy to care for. Josie is fully crate, house, and leash trained, and knows several basic commands like sit, wait, and stay. She’s deeply affectionate once she bonds, eagerly seeking closeness and gentle attention from her people. Josie didn’t have many chances to socialize early on, so she’s initially shy with new people or in unfamiliar situations. With calm voices and a patient approach, though, she opens up and shows her loving, playful side. She gets along well with other dogs, enjoying gentle play and the occasional face kiss, but her play style is a little quirky, so a compatible canine companion is best. Her favorite days are quiet: some walks, a bit of play, and long stretches just hanging out nearby. Josie thrives in a gentle, low-key household where she can continue to build confidence and feel secure. She’s spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up to date on preventatives. If you’re looking for a sweet, mannerly companion who will reward your patience with steady loyalty, Josie is ready to meet you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
