Josie's Story

Hi there!<br/>My name is Josie and I’m searching for my forever family!<br/><br/>A little about me: I’m young, happy, smart, silly, and full of love. I adore anything soft and cozy (blankets, pillows, your lap… you name it!) and will happily make it my bed. <br/><br/>I’m currently fostered with kids, and they make my tail wag nonstop! I love giving cuddles and soaking up attention from anyone—big or small. I also live with other dogs and do well with them, as long as we have a separate area to eat my food and chew high value bones. <br/><br/>I enjoy spending time outside, taking in all the sights and sounds (birds, cars, trees, neighbors), it’s all so interesting! I love to play with toys! I can entertain myself with stuffies and play tug of war with a passion! When I play with my foster family, I know to be very careful with my mouth and only gently play bite. <br/><br/>I wouldn’t make a good guard dog because I love when people come to the door! I’m so happy to meet new friends when I’m out and about or when they come to my house. I ride well in the car, as long as I’m in the backseat. If you put in the front seat next to you, I’ll try to ride on your lap! <br/><br/>At night, I sleep soundly in bed with my people (because cuddles are very important to me)! We keep each other nice and warm. I have the cutest little snores. I’m proud to say I’m fully potty trained. When my family leaves, I can be trusted to stay out and behave. I don’t mind the kennel but given the choice, I’d prefer to have freedom. <br/><br/>I would love to live in a home with lots of cheese. Cheese is my love language! You can get me to do anything with the right amount of cheese! <br/><br/>If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will love you endlessly, I think we’d make a perfect match. <br/><br/>Please note that I was just treated for heartworm, which means I’ll need a few weeks of down time and rest. I have medication to help me stay nice and calm. A few weeks ago I had surgery for a dislocated elbow. Everything went well! I’ve still lot a little limp but I’m building strength and the vet says my recovery is going great! <br/><br/>Josie is estimated to be 3 years old and 26 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested. <br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting.<br/><br/>We are also holding the following upcoming adoption events!<br/><br/>Please note: All dogs/puppies will not be at every event, and some may find their home prior to the event. If you are interested in a specific animal, please check our Facebook page for confirmed attendance the morning of the event: https://www.facebook.com/safehandsrescue/ <br/>You do not need to have a Facebook account to check the Safe Hands Facebook page for attendance. We hope to see you at an upcoming Meet & Greet!<br/><br/>Saturday, December 20th, 11:30am-1:30pm, Diamond Lake Church: 5760 Portland Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55417-2462, https://www.facebook.com/events/719946491094973/<br/><br/>Saturday, January 3, 11:00am-1:00pm, Bachman's: 6010 Lyndale Ave S, Minneapolis, https://facebook.com/events/s/safe-hands-rescue-meet-greet-a/854139767266965/<br/><br/>Saturday, January 10th, 11:00am-1:00pm, Forgotten Star Brewing: 38 Northern Stacks Dr NE, Minneapolis, MN 55421, https://www.facebook.com/events/2264915187316691/
