My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

7-27 PUPDATE: JOSIE received her 3rd round of vaccinations and rabbies vacc. today (possibly being microchipped if the vet approves). This little girl is a tomboy and she loves to play in the yard with the other doggies--especially HAL, a pug puppy just as rough and tumble as her! She loves digging her holes in the dirt and chasing the balls and toys up and down the ramp. She is very independent and creative and taught herself to play this game by herself and will sit in the shade on the porch and play with a toy while the others nap! She loves splashing in her makeshift puppy pool and I float her small balls in it for her to fish out pretty quickly, drop in front of me and wait til I roll them down the ramp, ha ha.

6-20 PUPDATE: JOSIE received her puppy exam (8'ish weeks old and very healthy), had a luxurious mani-pedi, lots of attention from her adoring fans at the vet hospital and was given her 2nd puppy shot (DHPP). SHE IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION INTO A WONDERFUL HOME!!
7/17/24-2nd mani-pedi, putting on some weight and wears a vest so the little rascal can be caught! (she enjoys making her human chase after her or crawl under furniture to pull her out! Loves digging holes and playing and digging holes in the dirt, getting dirty and wrestling with big 'brother' 2 legged Doodle in the small yard and playing in her makeshift puppy pool and chasing balls up and down the doggy ramp!

JOSIE WILL BE DUE FOR HER 3RD DHPP AND 1 YEAR RABIES VACCINE THE THIRD WEEK OF JULY 2024.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND (Monday): We took JOSIE in from a good samaritan who scooped her up while she and her litter mates were being given away at a nearby brewery during Memorial Day Weekend 2024. Her estimated age is 6 weeks old. JOSIE had her first vet exam and was given her first puppy vaccination (distemper, parvovirus) and is a healthy little, smart little girl!! She is not a yapper, a barker, and has good, medium energy, though, being a puppy, of course, wants to play and run with the "big dogs" (all under 15 lbs) and explore! But her favorite game is fetch! She will also chew on a nylabone or play with her toys while in her kennel. I always keep a bowl of water and food in her kennel and her larger kennel as well as water in the room because she's more of a 24 hr. grazer than a meal time eater. She is not a "girly girl" and is rough and tumble! Josie loves to splash in the small water bowl in the small dog yard and run around in the mud and dirt! Loves car rides and looking out the window. I'm guestimating her weight at 2 lbs. without the vest.

JOSIE is on a schedule, has always slept through the night, is being pee pad trained and ....drumroll please......has been taught to FETCH & RETRIEVE!!

JOSIE WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT 8 WEEKS OLD -- after she has received her 2nd puppy vaccination (DHPP).
