🌟 Meet the delightful Joey! 🌟 This 2-year-old Shih Tzu mix, weighing in at a cute 10-15 pounds, is ready to find his forever home! He has an endearing personality wrapped in a bit of shyness, making him the lovable introvert you didn’t know you needed. Joey came to the rescue as an owner surrender, and it seems that the bustling atmosphere of young children wasn’t quite the right match for his gentle spirit. He truly flourishes in calm environments, so a home without kids would be perfect for him. While he’s been known to play nicely with larger dogs, he can be a bit too playful for smaller fur friends—think of him as your exuberant buddy who sometimes forgets that others might need a timeout! Right now, he’s on a little journey of potty training, doing well with paper usage but needing some guidance to establish a regular schedule. 🐾 Plus, he's not too keen on leash walking just yet, so a secure fenced yard is a must for this charming fellow! Joey has a little trouble trusting new faces, so his ideal home would either have very few visitors or have folks who are happy to create a safe space for him—perhaps with some cozy kennel time when company arrives. He’s still warming up to this big world, and it might take a few meet-and-greets for him to feel at ease being handled. But trust me, the love he has to give is absolutely worth it! Feeling a connection? 😍 Apply through the Buddy App to bring this sweet, gentle soul home. Let’s help Joey blossom in a loving, understanding environment!
