Joshua's Story

Meet Joshua, a cattle dog/Pyrenees mix... plus a few mystery ingredients sprinkled in for good measure! He is one long-legged, goofy, lovable wrecking ball with energy to spare.<br/><br/>Joshua is very friendly, very playful, and has lots of love to give. He’s been affectionate and friendly with kids, though will most certainly knock down the smaller ones. He’s also got some impressive legs, which means a 4-foot fence is less of a barrier and more of a suggestion. His future home will need a taller, secure fence or a commitment to leash walks.<br/><br/>Joshua does well with other dogs and loves to play. He even seems to know a few commands, proving that somewhere underneath all that enthusiasm is a brain that occasionally clocks in for work. He’ll need some structure, training, and rules to help him learn that not every exciting moment requires maximum speed and maximum chaos.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a young, happy, goofy adventure buddy with legs for days and a heart even bigger than his feet, Joshua is ready to meet you! <br/><br/>To meet Joshua, please fill out our adoption application at: https://hsfc.org/adoptions/applications/online/
