any other fun or important facts you would want potential adopters to know:

Josephine (Josie) is the sweetest, quiet, cuddly lap dog who wants nothing more than for you to rub her belly, snuggle and give kisses.  She is crate and potty trained.  Josie gets slightly anxious around new dogs and people until she feels comfortable. Josephine is a perfect dog and companion, she just needs a family who is willing to be patient with her until she is acclimated to a new environment.  Once she warms up to you, she is super spunky with a ton of personality!  BEWARE: she will follow you around like a shadow and give you those puppy dog eyes you can't resist! 

If you are interested in meeting Josephine, complete the Adoption Application on our website at www.NeedyPaws.org and we will contact you. Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO.

Josephine ’s adoption fee is $175.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.
