Josie is a beautiful shepherd mix who’s ready to start the next, happiest chapter of her life. With her bright eyes, eager spirit, and big heart, she’s the kind of dog who makes you feel lucky just to know her.
This girl LOVES to play fetch – but she plays by her own adorable rules. Two balls, please! She’s all about a fair trade and has mastered the art of the double-fetch game. It’s impossible not to laugh when she’s in her element.
Josie is also wonderfully trainable. Food-motivated and smart as can be, she’s the type of dog who picks up new cues quickly and enjoys the process. She’ll thrive with someone who loves engaging her brain as much as her body.
With dogs, Josie likes the company of well-matched playmates and can enjoy fun, balanced play sessions with the right friends.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion with energy, heart, and a whole lot of potential, Josie is ready to give her second chance everything she’s got. Come meet her – she might just be your perfect match. 💕
