Josephine Terrier Mix Troy, MI

Hello, my name is Josephine. I have one mission in life ... to love and cuddle all the people I meet. I am a little girl at only 33 lbs, but I have the biggest heart so full of love and I'm willing to give all the kisses I have for free, asking only for TLC in return. And, I LOVE children. I am a senior lady, around 9 years old, but I am so full of life. I enjoy toys that don't make noise. I will carry around a plush toy and cuddle with it. I enjoy the fresh air and taking leisurely walks, but more than anything, I just want a soft bed, a warm lap and someone to share affection and attention with. I'm a couch potato and a lovergirl. I do not get along with other dogs or cats. I just never learned how to share and I want all the cuddles and loving for myself. We have no idea what breed combinations I am mixed with, but we do know that I am a great dog who loves humans with all my heart. Please help me find a loving home where I can spend my golden years being well cared for and cuddled. Apply today! Adoption fee: $75. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 30 days of free pet insurance and microchip.

NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.

Adoption Process: Complete the application at www.pawsforliferescue.org. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
