Meet Joel, a delightful one-year-old pup on the brink of a brand-new adventure! 🌟 This sweet soul is ready to embrace his forever home, and let me tell you, he’s just waiting for the right family to shower him with love! 💖 Joel is neutered, fully vaccinated, disease-negative, and microchipped, making him a ready-to-go companion! Joel has a story that tugs at the heartstrings. Rescued from a situation of neglect, this brave boy learned how to trust again through the patience and kindness of our incredible Animal Control Officers. And oh, what a transformation! From a hesitant pup, he blossomed into a sweet, friendly, and eager-to-please dog. Isn’t that just beautiful? 🌼 With his intelligence shining through, Joel has just embarked on basic obedience training. He’s already showcasing his smarts and, trust me, he’s full of potential! One of the most charming things about Joel is the way he gently “talks” to you with soft little grunts—it’s absolutely heart-melting! 🥰 Imagine those sweet sounds welcoming you home every day! Joel enjoys the company of other dogs, so he’d be a wonderful addition to a pet-friendly environment! However, we haven’t had the chance to see him around children yet and typically don’t cat-test dogs at the shelter for their well-being. If there are other pets in your home, introductions should be done thoughtfully and at a comfortable pace for everyone involved. 🐶💕 What Joel truly needs is a home that will nurture his blossoming confidence and love him unconditionally. If you feel the connection, why wait another minute? *Apply to adopt Joel through the Buddy App today!* Your new best friend is just a tap away! 🐾💞
