Josie -adopted

Josie is a 4 yr old cream standard poodle who is looking for a new forever home. She was a family pet who is well socialized and very sweet and friendly. This is a lovely dog who deserves a great home. She gets along well with other dogs, cats and children. She is playful. Josie is spayed, has all her shots, and is HW negative. Her family had some medical problems and could no longer keep her. Josie is a real love bug, putting her head in my lap while i'm on the computer. If you think Josie is a good fit for your family, please call Debbie at 740-610-8729, after 3 pm, week days, or anytime week ends, or fill out the application below. We require a fenced yard if there are kids under the age of 12 in the home.

Adopting a dog that has been moved from a home to a shelter and then to a rescue is not for everyone. It takes time and patience to make that dog feel at home in his new environment. It takes at least 1 week and usually up to a month for a dog to acclimate to your schedule and home. An animal shelter is the most stressful place for a dog to be, with other dogs barking and not knowing what is happening around them. Some dogs come to their new home scared and timid. They will sometimes take several days before they start eating and have anything to do with the new adopters.

It's not easy rescuing a dog. It takes patience and time and LOVE. These dogs need love and understanding, not another rejection.
