Meet Josie | The Bark

Dog’s name and age: Josie, 16 years

Adoption Story: I was working at a no-kill animal shelter that had just opened in Flagstaff, AZ when a Good Samaritan brought in a scared, skinny, stray puppy that was found scavenging for food around a trash bin on a nearby reservation. After days of hiding in her kennel, she finally came to me for comfort and love. I introduced her to Poko, another rescue who would become her adoring big brother. The rest is history.
