About Josie

Adoption Fee: $10.00
Boxer mix
Age: Puppy
Sex: Female

If you're reading this, then you must be considering adding a dog to your family. I love you for this. Let me tell you about Josie (what we're calling her while she's with us) and see if she's a good fit for you. Josie, who we believe to be a boxer/bully-breed/lab mix, was found along a local highway on August 7th by my adult sons. She was chasing after cars (we now suspect she was trying to find her owner). The boys opened their own car door and she jumped in. No chip, no lost dog ads, no response to our found dog ads. From what we've been able to determine, she's between a year and a year and a half old and is almost certainly part boxer. There may be some diluted bully-breed in there as well. She is sweet and submissive with humans--a quick study--and has all but housebroken herself (no accidents in the spare bedroom she inhabits)--she takes herself to the door and asks to go outside. She LOVES going for walks on the leash and will sit on your lap at every opportunity. She will be an excellent family dog. That said--she almost needs to be an 'only dog.' While she won't start a fight (doesn't seem to have a prey-drive and doesn't seem interested in dominating anyone), she won't hesitate to engage if she feels threatened and she doesn't back down. This goes for cats and dogs. Are you considering adding her to your household? Awesome--here's what we need from you-- Your real name. Your address. A vet reference. What other pets you have/had and (roughly) how long you've had them. We are willing to drive as far as 55 miles from Shell Knob. I am not willing to meet halfway and I don't want you coming to us. I need to know where she's going to be and am concerned that she's not wind up with someone who will misuse her. Josie deserves a home with a family who understands the commitment they're making. We've also got her on a list for a no-kill shelter and would rather pay a drop off fee to send her there than have him wind up on the streets again or fall into the wrong hands. If you believe Josie to be a good match for you, please email me. I will respond within 24 hours (usually within an hour).
