Josie is a 3-year old female, brown and white American Staffordshire Terrier mix that weighs approx 64 lbs. She was brought to the city shelter after being found tied to a gate with a heavy metal chain. She was a recent mother; she was still lactating. We call her a throwaway mom: used to produce puppies to be sold and then when her usefulness is done, abandoned to the streets. And she arrived at the shelter emaciated because the owner didn't even feed her properly.

Despite this terrible treatment, Josie is well socialized. She is low key, walks politely on a leash, appears to be housetrained, and good with dogs she's been around so far. She's a friendly girl and appreciates being petted and brushed. Josie takes food gently from your fingers. She loves to be taken her out for frequent walks, which brings the happiness back into her soul. She deserves it. A nice gal. She was rescued and placed in a foster home.. but now the foster has to go away unexpectedly and we urgently need to find a home or new foster for this sweet mama by Thursday, 9/18!

If you can adopt/foster Josie, please email luckofthedogblog@gmail.com with your phone number or call her rescue advocate at 917-543-6193 and leave a message with your info - THANK YOU!
