Description
🐾 Josephine – A Soft Soul Full of Love ❤️
Meet Josephine, lovingly called Josy.
Josy has an estimated date of birth of August 2022, so she is still a young girl with her whole life ahead of her.
With a shoulder height of around 54 cm, she is the perfect size — big enough to feel like a comforting presence beside you, yet still wonderfully easy to live with. At the moment, Josy is carrying a few extra kilos due to the lack of exercise in the shelter, but with normal walks and a happier daily life, she will naturally slim down to around 25–26 kg.
Josy was rescued from a public kill shelter and is now safe in a private rescue, where everyone who meets her falls a little bit in love with her.
And honestly… it is impossible not to.
She has that rare, beautiful softness about her — the kind of dog who gently steals your heart without even trying. One look into her warm eyes and you instantly feel how kind and loving she truly is.
What makes her story even sadder is that Josy has formed a close friendship with another shelter dog, and he will soon( June/July) be leaving for his forever home. We know she will miss him deeply. Our greatest hope is that Josy, too, will find her own loving family very soon, so she never has to feel left behind again.
🐾 Appearance & possible mix
Based on her appearance, Josy is likely a mix of Romanian Shepherd Dog (Ciobănesc Românesc), possibly blended with a touch of Retriever and a little bit of local “magic” in her genes.
She has the most beautiful gentle face, expressive eyes full of warmth, and a naturally comforting presence that makes people feel calm and safe around her. She truly is one of those dogs you simply want to hug.
💛 Personality
Josy is affectionate, gentle, loyal, and emotionally stable. She radiates calmness, yet there is also a lovely sparkle of joy and playfulness in her.
She adores human companionship without ever being pushy or demanding. She simply wants to be near her people, sharing everyday life together.
She is very intelligent, adapts quickly, bonds deeply, and loves with her whole heart.
Josy also gets along very well with other dogs.
🏡 What is Josy looking for?
More than anything, Josy dreams of a real forever home and someone she can love with all her heart.
She would love:
a warm and loving family
cosy walks and quiet moments together
cuddles, companionship, and belonging
a secure dog-proof garden to enjoy safely
Josy does not ask for much. Just kindness, love, and a place where she finally belongs.
🌟 A hopeful future
Josy has so much love left to give. She is ready to leave shelter life behind and become somebody’s loyal best friend — the kind of dog who quietly fills a home with warmth, comfort, and happiness.
Could you be the one she has been waiting for?
