JOSIE - AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed. // Find our applications at .midwestanimalrescue Adoption Fee $400 plus tax Meet Josie: cuddle bug extraordinaire and certified Sweetie Pie. She is an inquisitive and enthusiastic youngster that is completely potty trained and knows her basic commands. She sleeps through the night in her kennel and loves climbing into bed for snuggles and extra snoozes after her morning potty break. To her credit, a kennel is not even necessary as this young lady is a responsible house guest who is left alone, unkenneled for several hours at a time and doesn’t cause any problems. Josie is a very happy and curious girl who observes everything her humans do and is a wonderful companion that will keep you laughing. Her fosters love her because she has the perfect amount of energy: she keeps a great walking pace, enjoys playing fetch for short bursts of time, and is always prepared to settle down with you on the couch and snore by your side. Ever the social butterfly, Josie loves playing and interacts wonderfully with all dogs and people at the dog park. Josie has displayed defensive behavior towards men when indoors, so her first few introductions should be made outside while she familiarizes herself with them. Once she is familiar with a man, she will cuddle up to him like they are the best of friends and treat him no differently than the women in her life. With a little bit of patience and understanding, her fear can be overcome with proper introductions. Josie would do best in a house without shared walls because she takes her security patrols very seriously when she's home alone and likes to let everyone outside know that she's got her eye on them. She reserves this behavior for when she is alone and is generally very quiet when her people are home with her.
