About Josie

Josie is an adorable mixed breed dog estimated to be about 1 year old. This playful little girl, with her white and cream coat and chocolate markings, brings joy to those around her. She quickly bonds with her humans and loves spending her time by their side. Josie can be quite vocal when left alone, making an apartment setting less than ideal for her. Very agile, she can leap over a 4-foot door and onto tables, so a secure environment is important. She's shown that she prefers to be the only dog in the home, as she likes to have her people all to herself. While we don’t know how she interacts with cats or small children, it’s clear she thrives on being the center of attention. Josie enjoys walks and then settles down for some quality time on a lap or dog bed close to her loved ones. If you think Josie could be the right fit for your lifestyle, don’t hesitate to arrange a meeting and see her in action. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
