Josey is a 2 year old Great Pyrenees/Treeing Walking Coonhound mixed breed.  She was rescued from Arkansas and transported to Dane County Humane Society
​as a 2 month old puppy.  She is a playful, curious young dog who loves to use her nose to find treats, bugs, and chipmunks hiding in the rocks around the play yard (the dirt on her nose gives it away!).  Josey passed her Canine Good Citizen test in June 2021.
