Meet Josie

This absolutely gorgeous girl is finally getting the life she deserves. After spending much of her early life confined to a crate, Josie is now thriving in her foster home—running in the yard, making dog friends, and discovering how fun life can be.

She's even taken on a very special role... Josie met a blind dog and decided it's her job to be his little guide.

Josie is a stunning cattle dog mix—smart, curious, and full of personality. She entertains herself well, loves water (baby pool approved ), and is always ready for her next adventure.

XO, THE GBP TEAM

PS - Please keep in mind, our bio's are based on feedback we have received from the current foster home the dog is in. We can never guarantee how a transition will affect the dog. GBP is here to help make the transition as easy as possible but time + patience are also important when adopting a new PAL. Breed Mixes & Ages are a best guess and can not be guaranteed**

The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler, is a hardworking and intelligent breed originally developed in Australia for herding cattle. Renowned for their endurance and agility, these medium sized dogs have a striking blue or red speckled coat and alert, curious expression. With a strong herding instinct and boundless energy, they require mental stimulation and physical activity to thrive. Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.

The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones. In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.

The Gals Best Pal Rescue Mission is to be a voice for the voiceless as it advocates for the dogs...
