JOSIE IS LOOKING FOR HER FOREVER HOME - PLEASE SHARE HER STORY
Josie was surrendered by a lady with 5 young kids. Josie was kept outside her whole life pretty much because one of the kids was afraid of her.
She has been outside for 8 years and left alone.
We think Josie looked like she was giving up hope.
Josie is sweet but really timid. She is also really petite, I would say she weighs 18kg at the most. You could easily carry her around on your hip whilst you are dusting the house! She has bonded with her foster carer and now loves being an inside dog. She really prefers to be an only dog. She’s much happier.
If you are interested in meeting her or you are looking to adopt this sweet 8 year old border collie x please fill out an application here

Fill out the profiles of your current pets if you have any. Understanding the personality of resident cats and dogs will help rescue organisations or foster carers determine if the pet will adjust to your surroundings.
