Josie C.

Hi there, my name is<br/>Josie<br/>, and I&#39;m searching for my forever family.<br/><br/>I&#39;m a strong two-year-old German Shepherd girl, weighing about 70 pounds, who is mature and wise for my age. My prior living situation was in a large yard with an outdoor shed and very little company. It was a scary, lonely, and uncertain time. Now, safe in foster care, I&#39;m learning what it means to be part of a family-and I&#39;m blossoming every day.<br/><br/>When I first arrived, I wasn&#39;t sure how to live inside a home. I wanted to protect my new place, so I barked at people and dogs passing by the windows. But my foster family has helped me relax, and now I mostly watch with curiosity instead of worry. I love walks and am learning not to pull on the leash. I can still get excited around other dogs, but my wagging tail shows I might just want to play. With a little more training, I know I&#39;ll get even better.<br/><br/>I&#39;m housebroken, crate trained, and ride beautifully in the car. At night, I sometimes curl up in my open-door crate, but other times you&#39;ll find me snoozing on the couch. I know my basic commands-sit, down, and come-and I&#39;m eager to learn more since I&#39;m very treat-motivated. I also have great manners: no digging, chewing, or jumping.<br/><br/>Playtime is one of my favorite things! I love fetch- I&#39;ll bring the ball back again and again, and when I&#39;m done, I plop my big paw on it to let you know playtime is over. Indoors, I have a toy box, and I always choose my favorite one before I bring it to you.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve also visited ranch animals-horses, cattle, geese, and turkeys-and handled myself like a pro.<br/><br/>My foster family describes me as affectionate, playful, curious, and eager to please. I love giving kisses and following my people around the house. Since I haven&#39;t lived with other pets, we&#39;re not sure how I&#39;d do sharing a home, but I&#39;m friendly with adults, strangers, and children.<br/><br/>At just two years old, I&#39;m ready to grow into the amazing companion I was always meant to be. Could I be the shepherd girl you&#39;ve been looking for?<br/><br/> From outdoor life to family life-Josie is a level 3 dog ready for her happily ever after.
