Josie (formerly known as April) - Adopted May, 2008

November 2009 - Josie's mom sent a great update on her beautiful girl:

Hi All Dog, It has been a long time since I wrote, but I was just sitting here thinking about how much I love Josie (formerly April) and how grateful I am to all of you for rescuing her and bringing her into my life. She has done so well over the last year and a half and has added so much fun and joy and love to my life. She is the perfect dog - minus the jumping when she hasn't seen those she loves for awhile (or even just a few minutes!) - I'm working on that, but she just gets so excited it's like she can't control herself!

I'm attaching a couple of pictures of Josie at her favorite place in the world - the Minnehaha dog park. The pics aren't great but it's hard to get her to sit still when there is so much playing to be done!

Thanks again for my girl!

May 2008 - Josie's new mom sent her former foster mom a great update on her new girl:

As of today, it has been one week since Josie became part of my family and I am already totally and completely in love with her! She truly is the best dog EVER! Ok, I might be a little biased but I really think it's true! She has been having so much fun playing with the other dogs at the dog park; she loves to chase birds and can run forever (but she always comes back when I call her!); and she has become my new running partner! Plus, she is a great cuddler! She is just such a sweetheart with such a gentle kind soul. I spent so long contemplating getting a dog, worried about how it would change my life and it has -- but in the best way possible! Thank you so much for my girl!
