Josie (formerly Tiny)

Back in May, we did our volunteer dog transport and picked up little Tiny (now Josie) in Eau Claire to bring her to her foster mom at Small Dog Rescue. Tiny came from a shelter in Tennessee that got flooded during the spring rains. She's now our little Country Bumpkin!

In the photo we took during the transport (with red harness on), you can see how thin she was, and she was fighting lots of skin infections, and had what looked like a bite mark on her forehead. But despite feeling sick and tired, and coming to the end of her two-day voyage to MN, she was so loving and wagged her tail when she got in our car.

After three months with us, she was fattened up and all her infections were gone! You can see the change in the "After" photo from July (wearing pink collar). She is super-friendly and her tail is always wagging. One of her best little quirks is her patented "trust fall" -- she jumps on your lap, leans over, and just falls over onto your chest for some extreme cuddling! She is a pure joy in our lives and makes a wonderful side-kick for our other terrier, Gidget.

Thank you so much, Small Dog Rescue!
