Let’s give a warm welcome to Joey, the most endearing little tri-pod mixed breed you’ll ever meet! At 5 years old and weighing a delightful 16 pounds, he brings so much love to the table! 🥰 Despite a tough start in life from a hoarding situation, Joey is ready to blossom in a patient, loving home where he can truly shine. ❤️ Now, Joey is not just any dog; he’s a diamond in the rough who just needs a little time to come out of his shell. When he first arrived at his foster home, he took a few days to adjust and feel safe. But let me tell you – once he warms up, he becomes a loyal and loving companion that will fill your heart! 🐾✨ With a sprinkle of patience and consistency, Joey is on his way to becoming your best friend! You’ll never regret opening your home to this precious soul. **About Joey:** 🏡 House trained & crate trained 🛏️ Loves his dog bed and snuggling up with his special person 🚗 Going for car rides? Joey is all in! 🚶‍♂️ He enjoys walks, although he might give a little tug on the leash (who doesn’t love a quick jog?) 🔊 Joey is as quiet as a mouse, barking only at the regular sounds of a home. **Joey’s Forever Home Checklist:** ✅ – Joey needs a patient adopter who understands that all good things take time. 🌱 – He prefers to be the only furry friend in a calm and quiet household so he has the space to blossom at his own pace. **Personality & Needs:** – Joey can be shy and timid, but with the right encouragement, he will build trust and open his heart. 🥺❤️ – He might nip playfully at ankles if someone moves too quickly, but hey, that’s just his quirky way of saying he’s nervous! – Joey has shown some food defensiveness around other pups—nothing a loving home can’t help ease! – A little separation anxiety? Yes, he misses his humans dearly and adores getting all the cuddles when they return! 🤗 **Other Pets & Kids:** – For now, Joey prefers to be the one and only dog in the home. 🏠 – He’s lived with familiar friends before but hasn’t quite settled well with new dogs. – The jury’s still out on kids, so best to be cautious here! **Vetting and Medical:** In our care, Joey has undergone a full vet check along with vaccines, a dental exam, nail trimming, skin treatment, and he’s neutered. He’s all set to bring joy to a loving guardian! 💖 So many rewards await in giving Joey the love and patience he deserves. He'll return that love tenfold with his unwavering loyalty and an enormous heart! 💛 Adoption Fee: $250; It’s important to note—applicants need to apply through the Buddy App to take the first step towards welcoming this incredible journey with Joey.
