Josie's Story

Meet Josie — the life of the party wrapped up in the sweetest little package. 💕<br/><br/>This young girl has never met a stranger. Whether it’s dogs, kids, or new friends walking through the door, Josie is right there to greet them with confidence and charm. She’s incredibly outgoing and thrives on attention — especially when it comes in the form of her favorite thing: booty pats! Give her a few taps on her bum and she’ll flop over dramatically, rolling around and putting on a full performance just to keep the love coming.<br/><br/>Josie’s story has a brave chapter, too. In late 2025, she was hit by a car and suffered a pelvic injury. But you’d never know it now — she has made a full recovery and moves, plays, and loves life without a single sign of her past injury slowing her down. She’s resilient, strong, and ready to leave that chapter behind her for good.<br/><br/>Now, Josie is just looking for her happily ever after — a home where she can soak up all the attention, make new friends (furry and human alike), and continue being her joyful, silly self. If you’re looking for a social, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining companion, Josie is your girl. 🐾💗<br/><br/>Adoption fee is $65 and includes:<br/>spay<br/>age-appropriate vaccines<br/>FIV/FeLV testing<br/>flea/tick/heartworm prevention<br/>microchipping<br/>deworming
