Meet Josie: The Shelter Favorite Who Got Her Second Chance

Hi, I'm Josie! I'm an 8-month-old sweetheart weighing just 27 pounds, which makes me the perfect medium-sized adventure buddy. My story almost ended before it really began. I was sitting in a Tennessee shelter, hoping someone would notice me. Thankfully, the shelter manager believed I deserved a chance and personally advocated for me. Because someone spoke up, Rescue Coop said yes, and now I'm searching for the forever family I've always deserved. My mom is a Lab/Hound/Corgi mix, so I ended up with an adorable combination of looks, a fun-loving personality, and a great size. I'm everything you'd want in a young pup: friendly and affectionate, playful and always ready for fun, young enough to learn anything you want to teach me, and the perfect age to start making lifelong memories together. I may have started life in a shelter, but I don't want that to define my future. I just want someone who will toss me a toy, let me curl up beside them at the end of the day, and remind me every day that I'm finally home. Could you be the happy ending the shelter manager hoped I'd find?
