About Me
Meet Josie! Josie is rescue from South Korea. She’s a lively, playful girl with a bright spirit and a love for fun. She’s looking for a safe, secure home where she can learn new things, build her confidence, and truly shine.
Of late, she has made great progress with recall and her puppy mouthiness has gotten way better. She loves being outdoors and would make someone an awesome hiking buddy!
My Story
My name is Josie . I currently weigh 22 lbs, and I should be under 40 lbs when I am fully grown.
I am young, healthy, and full of energy. My absolute favorite activity is playing with other dogs. I spend most of my time running in the backyard and initiating play. I can be a bit pushy sometimes, as I am still learning my doggy manners. I am also highly food-motivated and love squeaky stuffed toys.
When I am comfortable with my people, I show my affection by jumping, nipping, licking, and kissing. However, I am very shy and uncertain around strangers. If I feel overwhelmed, my instinct is to flee. I need help building my confidence around new people in a safe, secure way.
I do okay on a leash, but I am not house-trained yet and my recall needs a lot of work so I’ll need help with that.

Doing well at home, but the outside world is still a little too much. Shy with strangers outside the home. Needs work on jumping and nipping.
