Dog of the Month: Josie
Adopt this wiggly two-year-old who loves hiking and bedtime snuggles.
Josie comes with big claims. She says she is the owner of a 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 that needs a little bit of work but should be “totally sweet” once she “hits the junkyard for a couple of parts.” When asked for further details on Josie’s ownership of the car, a baffled Washington Department of Licensing employee said it “definitely isn’t possible” and she’s not even sure how a dog would apply for a title.
Josie is about two years old and is described by her foster parent as the wiggliest dog alive, with an energy level that can match yours. She’ll join you on long hikes through the forest, but she also loves to snuggle at bedtime. She’s good with larger dogs and would probably do best in a female-only home.
Saving Great Animals is a Seattle-based rescue focused on matching adoptable dogs with families based on breed, age, and lifestyle. Dogs are placed in foster homes while the organization works to find the right long-term fit. Adopters are offered a two-week in-home trial, along with training and ongoing support to help ensure a successful transition. The goal is simple: find the right dog for the right home.
