About Josie

Josie is a stunning, sweet girl who brings happiness wherever she goes. At about five months old and weighing around 40 pounds, she’s still growing and will be a large dog when fully grown. She's a Bully mix, possibly with some larger breed such as Great Dane in her lineage, giving her a unique stature that’s taller than your average bully. Currently, she’s learning leash and collar manners and doing well with kennel training. Josie is reportedly housebroken and hasn’t had accidents since entering rescue, though her nerves might lead to a brief adjustment in new settings. She does well with other dogs, but initial introductions should be managed carefully due to her shyness. Fortunately, she warms up quickly. Kids are no issue for her whatsoever; she gets along beautifully with them. Josie’s adoption fee covers her spay, vaccinations, microchip, and current preventative treatments.
