Meet the charming and captivating Joe! 🐶 This lovely fellow’s journey is a heart-wrenching tale, just like a favorite novel. Once a happy pup picked from a store or breeder, Joe now finds himself on a quest for his forever family, having been surrendered to a shelter in southwest Virginia. Life had certainly taken a toll on him, leaving him with the saddest, most expressive eyes—eyes that seem to look straight through to the depths of your soul. 🌟 And when the team discovered that these soulful eyes are mostly blind, it was a moment that tugs at the heartstrings. 💔 But wait, hold onto your hats, because there's a silver lining in Joe's story! His transformation in our care has been nothing short of miraculous! ✨ Gone is the quiet, sad little man who arrived with skin, eye, and ear troubles holding him back. Thanks to love and care, Joe has blossomed into an affectionate, easygoing gentleman, bringing joy and a sprinkle of goofiness back into his life. When he moves, it’s like witnessing a marshmallow bounce—light and joyful, hopping behind you with a soft, funny bounce! 🐰💖 Now, Joe does have T-cell carcinoma, but fear not! He’s thriving day-to-day on a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication that can help slow its progression. With a prognosis of approximately 6 to 18 months, the best months of his life are still to come! 📆 All this lovely guy dreams of is a family to open their hearts and homes to him while our rescue happily covers his medication and prescription urinary diet costs for the rest of his life! 🚑✨ This delightful little man has recently discovered the wonders of toys, treating himself to private playtime joyfully! 🧸 He adores being wrapped as a snug burrito and absolutely lights up when he’s outdoors, particularly if there’s a fenced-in yard. Joe is also a puzzle enthusiast—he loves unearthing treats like a true detective on a delicious mission! 🕵️‍♂️ Plus, he has a flair for interior design, often moving his toy basket closer to his bed to keep a watchful eye on his treasures. What a renaissance pup he is! 🎨🐕 If cozy nights with blankets, a glass of wine, and a binge-watching session of Emily in Paris sound like your ideal Saturday, Joe is ready to be your soulmate! 💕 This cuddly superstar believes that personal space is simply a myth. He's happiest curled up on your chest or lap, snoozing while you get lost in plot twists and stories. Yep, you guessed it—small guy, big cuddle energy! 💤✨ Joe is a champion in the nighttime sleeping department, takes his medication like a champ, and has a tender, gentle nature.
