Josie

Meet Josie — Your Daily Dose of Joy in Dog Form ☕🐾

There’s something special about that first morning cup of coffee—the way it lifts your spirit and puts a smile on your face. That’s exactly how Josie makes you feel. Sweet, comforting, and quietly energizing—she’s the kind of presence that makes everything better.

Josie (as in “Cup of Joe”) is an 18-month-old, 45-pound beauty with a rich chocolate coat, soft tan features around her eyes and mouth, adorable white-dipped toes, and the cutest stand-up bouncy ears you’ve ever seen. Just like her chocolate coloring, Josie’s personality is rich, warm, and sweet.

She’s a spunky, quiet girl with a happy tail and tap-dance greeting. She has a gentle energy that fills the room when you walk in. Josie is housebroken, past the chewing phase, and happiest after a good romp around the yard—either solo, with her foster sibling, or playing fetch with her people.

Cats and squirrels? She’s not quite sure what to make of them yet—chasing is part of the fun, after all! She’s a respectful companion around other dogs and would thrive with a canine buddy or in a home where she gets plenty of play and connection.

When she first arrived—unfixed and in heat—Josie didn’t know what to do with a leash or the idea of indoor living. She was shy, unsure, and just trying to understand what safety felt like. Now? She walks in and out like she’s always belonged. She’s learning to enjoy leash walks and continues to build confidence every day.

Because of her initial shyness, Josie will likely feel most at ease in a home with older children or a calm, predictable environment. Fast movement or sudden noise can make her uneasy—but with trust and time, she blossoms.

Josie is ready for a home where she’s not just seen for her beauty, but loved for the sweet, soulful dog she is. She may not be your cup of tea—but she just might be your perfect Cup of Joe. 💛
