Meet Josephine! Josephine was found by a vet tech at our vet on her way to work. She was huddled by a dumpster and was so scared to move they thought she may have been hit by a car. Josie is now in foster care and doing great. She is happy and playful with other dogs and a bit shy but loving with people. She's fine with cats.
Josephine is about 6-7 months old and is an adorable chocolate-colored pit girl. She will make an awesome addition to pretty much any home!
