JOSIE is 41 lbs. Of Fun

Josie! (ID#A219349) Playful, smart, affectionate, adolescent girl will steal your heart when she does her zoomies in the yard! Need a running or training partner? Josie is ready to work with you. She’s already had a good start and knows some basic commands.

With continued training, using positive reinforcement with toys and treats, and appropriate exercise, this girl can be a star. Josie loves people and will do best in a home where she has people around and is not left alone all day.

Josie likes to be around dogs, and will playfully introduce herself to other dogs of all sizes. She remains pleasant and calms easily after a couple attempts to play bow or get rowdy. Tiny dogs may not like her initial ‘hello’ but her tail is constantly wagging and after a couple minutes she seems to be at ease around any four legged company.

Josie is a spayed female, black and white Australian Cattle Dog and Pit Bull Terrier, approximately 10 months old and weighing in at 41 pounds. She has been at the shelter since Feb. 1, 2016.
