🌟 Meet Joey, your soon-to-be best friend! This enchanting tricolor lad has a heart as big as his playful spirit! 🍕 Craving a loyal sidekick who’ll follow you to the ends of the earth? Then look no further because Joey is ready to embark on adventure after adventure right by your side! Whether frolicking with fellow furry friends or tagging along on your hiking excursions, Joey's energy is contagious! 🏞️ This delightful fellow is believed to be a cross between an Australian Shepherd and an English Shepherd—a perfect combo of intelligence and charm! Just imagine the conversations you'll have, or should I say, the bonding moments you’ll cherish! 🐾 Upon being rescued, Joey weighed 35 pounds, and he's now a healthy 40 pounds of pure joy! 🎉 Estimated to be around 3-5 years young—with that dynamic spirit, it’s safe to say he’s more of a youthful 3! While he walks well on a leash, he might pull a tad out of excitement at first. 🚶‍♂️ But worry not; he also rides beautifully in the car! 🚗 Now, let’s talk about his little medical hiccup: Joey tested positive for heartworm. But don’t fret! He’s asymptomatic and on a care protocol, which means he can still live life to the fullest! 💪 He’s receiving doxycycline and heartworm prevention to ensure he’s on the path to health. Plus, with no activities limited during treatment, he’ll be the same energetic pup you fell in love with! 💖 Adoption comes with a fee of $250, but consider it an investment in a loyal connection that could last a lifetime.
