JOSIE - Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Evans, Georgia

Meet Josie, our longest stay and our most overlooked dog. She is a classic case of stigma - black dog syndrome, bully breed label, etc. This poor girl cannot catch a break.

Josie came to us in September of 2025. She is a lively 3 yr old, 35lb, pittie mix with the most loving, loyal, and fun personality. She does need to be an only pet but is eagerly awaiting to be your adventure buddy & couch potato in one.

About Josie:
- Housebroken
- Crate trained
- Know "sit & crate" well and is working on "drop it", "give", "leave it", & "come"
- Excellent walking buddy, but should continue leash & command work.
- Needs continued refinement on her greeting style - gets excited and jumps.

Josie's Love Languages:
Walks & hikes (aka Adventure!)
Loves the beach
Fetch
Benebones & Bully Sticks
Frozen Kongs
Physical Touch (loves to sit on your lap outside and watch over her yard)

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature. Originally bred for bull baiting and later dog fighting, Pit Bulls today are beloved family pets cherished for their gentle temperament and playful personality. With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction. Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.
