More about Josie

To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application  HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see   HERE   Age: approx. 4 months (as of 1/14/26) Weight: approx. 11.6 pounds (as of 1/14/26) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.   Meet Josie, the huggable Puggle! This little girl has an infectious personality and so much love to give. Her foster can’t emphasize enough how sweet she is! If you look up “goofball” in the dictionary, you’ll find a picture of Josie. She loves to meet new people and make them laugh with her silly puppy antics. She is very serious about playtime, so she’ll need active playmates that can keep up with her and don’t mind her puppy energy. While she is interested in cats, she can be a bit overbearing and we're not sure if your cat would return the interest. When she’s finally done playing, she will settle down for cuddles on the couch.  We strongly recommend obedience training for all dogs, especially puppies! It’s important to start training early on, not only to prevent bad habits and encourage good behavior, but to build mutual trust and respect. Training will give your puppy the confidence she needs to be come a great canine citizen. Did we mention it’s also lots of fun and really tires out your puppy? Are you willing to raise the sweet and lovable Josie and give her the fur-ever home she deserves? Submit an application today and let her know you’re interested!   An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see   HERE   for more information about this.

We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
