Josie D15903

Hi there! My name is Josie. I am from Arkansas. Thank so much for stopping by! Let me introduce myself - my name is Josie and I'm from Arkansas...wherever that is! I am so excited to meet you and get to know each other. My foster family really enjoys having me around, so maybe you will too? I sure do love my people - I will never turn down an opportunity to get some belly rubs, ear scratches, and snuggles from my family. Snuggling and sitting on my foster mama's lap are one of my favorite things to do. Want to know what else I enjoy? FOOD! I love food...any food will do! I get so excited when it's time to eat that I kinda-sorta try to steal some from my sister, so mom has to separate me so I don't eat all of her food too. I'm sure you're all wondering about how my training is coming along, yes? I don't mind my crate. I sleep in there and I eat in there, so it's not such a bad place. Mom tells people I'm pretty quiet in there and sometimes in the evening, I'll just go lay in there when I'm really tired. I'm still working on my potty training. I never ever go in my kennel (I did once because mom left me in there just a little too long), but she's trying to teach me how to use this silly bell. I haven't quite figured why I should ring the bell, I live with my sissy, Jennifer, and my resident sister, Winnie. We love to romp around and play (& steal each other's toys!). I also have two human brothers (9 & 12) and we get along great too. I'd love to show you what a good girl I am, so please come and meet me - I'd be a perfect addition to your family! Lastly, fun fact about me...I make the goofiest face and I can't wait to show you sometime. The first day my foster mom picked me up, she thought I was snarling at her...but oh no...that's just me being silly and showing off my pearly whites. I wouldn't hurt a fly! I'd love to show you what a good girl I am, so please come and meet me - I'd be a perfect addition to your family! From the Foster Mom: I picked Josie up from TBB at the end of March, so she's had some time to get comfortable in our home. Let me just say, Josie is such a delight to have around. She tends to be a bit more on the timid side, but she warms up super quickly. She is just a little lover and always wants affection & snuggles. Josie loves her humans so much, she likes to jump up and greet them, so will need to work on that with her. As you'd expect from a puppy, she is very curious - sniffing everything she can find. She is VERY treat / food motivated and we are working on basic commands & training with her. Regarding potty training, I have been using a bell to let me know when she needs to go out. She still needs some work with that. We've made progress on pottying outside, but her bladder is small, so she would need someone who can let her outside frequently or kennel her (she does great overnight. During the day, the longest consecutive amount of time she was in her kennel was up to 6 hours while I was gone at work). We have also been taking her to our kids sporting events to help socialize her. She does have a voice and is not afraid to use it if she's unsure of something so may do best in non-shared walls.
