Pet of the Week

Two lovable dogs, a cat in search of some TLC, and an adorable rabbit are featured on this edition of Pet of the Week.

Josie

Animal ID: 11-01403
Age: 10 years old
Breed: Chihuahua Mix

Josie may be 10 years old, but she has the energy of a 1-year-old. Because she is high-energy, Josie would do best as the only dog in a home with older kids. She is quiet, treat-motivated, and well-behaved on a leash. Josie's favorite thing to do is snuggle under a blanket. When you come to visit Josie, please ask an adoption counselor about the Underdog Program because there is a special rate for senior pets.
