Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


Josie is a sweetheart. Loves to snuggle and play fetch. She is a true Velcro dog, but almost to a fault. She suffers from separation anxiety and does not like to be confined to a crate. She will drool excessively when she stays in one. She gets very excited when I return from work or anywhere and will bark and jump and it can be intimidating, but she is not aggressive towards me or my husband. She will calm down after a few minutes and then turns into a chill girl laying on the floor near you or playing with her toys. She is protective of her people and does bark at strangers sometimes. She also does not get along with female dogs and has had three fights with my 2 senior girls but gets along great with our male dog. She has gone to two trainers to try to help build her confidence and help him her anxiety. She is currently on Trazadone when we go to work. She would do best in a home with no female dogs and with someone who has patience with dogs with anxiety.
