Pet of the week - Josey

Sweet one year old rescued from puppy mill

From pound puppies to purebred cats, Patch spotlights pets who enjoy what Shoreline/Lake Forest Park has to offer. For some dogs, like this week’s pet Josey, all they need is a loving and safe home.

This 10-pound Chihuahua was rescued from a backyard breeder. Now spayed, her puppy producing days are behind her and she’s looking forward to a forever home with people who will treat her like she deserves – a normal, happy dog life.

She is just over a year old and is eager to develop a trusting relationship so she can show how much love she has to offer.

Josey needs a compassionate owner who is willing to take things slow with her. She is very sweet, but the best fit would be in a home with children older than 12 years-old.

She does need help working on her house training, so her hew owner needs to be patient in this area.
