Josie's Story

A FUN & ENERGETIC GAL: Approx. 6 years old / Approx. 35 lbs.<br/><br/>Hi, my names Josie! Somehow, I wound up at animal control, and I knew it was my lucky day when Mostly Mutts came for me. At the MM shelter, I am settling in nicely and am now ready to find a family to love and be loved by, come meet me soon! I was selected to participate in the Mostly Mutts Prison Pups immersive training experience and learned a lot! I was adopted for a couple of months, but my energy level wasnt a match for the family, so Im back with MM looking for a family that will be active with me. Im in a wonderful foster home now while I wait for my family to find me.<br/><br/> OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I have a hard time making doggie friends. For now, I would like to be your only dog, please. / I met a cat at MM and we all decided that its best I not live with cats. / I havent met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so lets meet. My foster thinks older kids (maybe 10+) might be a good match since I love to play and sometimes do some gentle nibbling / mouthy play, but never in a mean way. <br/> <br/> PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a sweet, fun and friendly girl with the most adorable floppy ears and nubby tail! Playful and affectionate, I love to spend time with people. I was a bit unsure during my shelter bath, but I eventually relaxed and by the ear and face cleaning time, I was giving sweet kisses. I can be playful and energetic, but I also enjoy being cuddly with my people, so let's go for some nice walks and then save a spot on the couch for me! / Energy level: 5-7 with occasional zoomies.<br/><br/> SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: Im a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts Prison Pups immersive training experience so I've learned the sit, stay, down, come, drop it, leave it and place commands. I also use proper door etiquette and have good leash manners as well as accept nice strangers without jumping. Im a bit hyper-focused with toys, so my trainer has taught me to exchange my toy for a treat or another toy. I can also be hyper-focused on small critters on my walks so tell me to leave it. Let's continue my training as there are more classes we can take through the free lifetime training that Mostly Mutts offers for their rescue dogs. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts, as well as in my foster home. My foster leaves the door open and I use it as a quiet resting spot. I also go in nicely when asked. It is also a good idea to crate me away from windows if any outside people are coming to work in the yard—I get a little vocal looking out for my property. / My potty habits have been good on the shelter schedule and in my temp. and current foster homes too. I do prefer to do my business on my walks rather than in my yard so lets get moving a bit.<br/><br/> LIKES/DISLIKES: I love playing in the backyard and doing zoomies! I really love toys, and, as mentioned above, can be hyper-focused with them. I love stuffed toys and play with them enthusiastically, then I move on. Tug-o-war is also one of my favorite games if you want to have some fun, too! I used to be a super-fast eater and needed a slowfeeder with my kibble, but have developed a more refined palate (some may say finicky), preferring a bit of wet food, but let's not switch it up too much so my belly can adjust. After some playtime, let's snuggle up and unwind together. / I don't like bicycles passing me or busy walking paths so please hold tightly to my leash and let's find quieter places to walk. I'm not a fan of the vacuum (but maybe Ill get used to it?) and those yard workers are a bit suspect as well. Otherwise, I cant think of any dislikes, though Im sure I wouldnt like it if I didnt get enough love, attention, exercise, and training.<br/><br/> MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I'm currently on an inexpensive medication to help with my hyper-focus on toys and some anxiousness. At the shelter, I can't have toys overnight for my safety, so I get excited when I see a toy. I'm hoping that in my forever home, where there will be lots of toys, I can feel more relaxed about them and hopefully come off the medication in time. <br/><br/>I am looking for a fun family with whom I can make great memories! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
