Josie - Spaniel and Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Chatham, New Jersey

My name is Josie, I am about 8 lbs and 3 months old. These are the questions most people ask about us young puppies so let me lay it out for you! I don't have to tell you I am as CUTE AS A BUTTON.

Who are my parents? We aren't totally sure but mom looked like a smaller lab/hound mix. Dad? Really have no clue.
How big will I be? We don't know my parents for sure but based on how much I weigh now, we are thinking 30 to 40 lbs, give or take a few. Medium.
What is my personality like? I am an active, joyful and energetic puppy. I play and then crash like any baby does. I do puppy things! I am not shy and seem pretty ready to take on the world ahead of me.
What kind of home would be good for me? Well, again - baby here, which means many homes could probably work for me. The most important thing is that the adult humans are ready for a puppy.
Do I get along with kids, cats and dogs? Yes, I sure do. I am 8 lbs and 3 months, there isn't much I don't accept right now.
Am I housebroken and crate trained? Broken record, I know. I am a puppy. My humans will have to work on those things with me. I am a SMART cookie. The time you put into me won't be wasted. (PS - my fur is VERY soft!)
