Meet Joey! This charming 3.5-month-old Border Collie Mix is bursting with energy and love! Weighing in at 18 lbs now, Joey is expected to grow into a fabulous 40 lbs of playful pup. Imagine the joy this little guy will bring into your life! 🐶✨ Joey is your typical curious puppy, full of life and ready to explore the world. However, he’s not just a bundle of joy; he’s also a puppy with a zest for learning and a heart full of affection. Now, here’s the scoop—Joey joins us from a rescue that saves dogs from dire situations in places where spay/neuter resources are scarce. Aren’t heroes worth adopting, too? 😍 Here’s where it gets really important: Joey is looking for an adopter with some intermediate dog ownership experience. He will thrive in a structured environment where he gets plenty of daily exercise and mental stimulation. Picture this: at least 90 minutes of playtime in the morning followed by potty breaks, followed by brain games. It’s a playdate marathon for this eager beaver! 🏃‍♂️🐾 Joey is still working on his potty skills, which means he'll need some patience and consistency as he learns. A little pup needs time to shine, after all! 🐕✨ With an adventurous spirit, he’s a social little guy who loves dogs, kids (8 and up, please!), and even cats! But do keep an eye out when the playful nibbles start—puppies often get a little mouthy during their rambunctious phases. Ouch! Those tiny teeth can be sharp! 😅🐾 And let’s not forget about his medium energy level. Right now, he might be snoozing or playing, but once he hits that teenage puppy phase, it’ll be time for him to turn into a high-energy superstar. ✨ Are you ready to keep pace? Of course, the ideal home for Joey includes loving humans who can offer a supportive structure. Adult supervision is essential when he’s with kids, and his education will need to include leash manners and maybe some crate training for added security. Training is not just a must; it’s a newfound adventure that you both can embark upon together! 💪❤️ Is your heart as big as Joey’s personality? If so, it’s time to take the next step! Apply through the Buddy App to adopt this lovable furball so he can join your family! Remember, Joey and his pals are being fostered in homes, not at the Social Tees office, which means you will get to learn all about his quirky puppy habits in a loving environment. Let’s give Joey the forever home he deserves! 🏠💖
