Meet Kokomo Joe! Kokomo Joe is a hefty, lovable mixed breed boy looking for his forever people in Elburn, IL. He came from a tough situation in Texas where he was abandoned, underfed, and left to fend for himself. Some food aggression at first wouldn't surprise anyone, but regular meals and patience have gone a long way; food isn’t an issue for him anymore. Despite the rough start, Kokomo Joe is pure sunshine—big, goofy, and unaware of just how much space he occupies. He’s playful, affectionate, and has an infectious happiness that’s impossible to ignore. His crate and house manners are reliable, and despite his size, he’ll try to curl up close for a cuddle. He’s even shown off his determination by moving his own crate around the room. Kokomo Joe gets along with other dogs when introduced properly and should do well in a home ready to continue his training and provide strong, steady guidance. He’s house trained, neutered, vaccinated, and looking for a family that will embrace his clownish energy and give him all the belly rubs he missed out on. If you want a dog with a big heart and giddy bounce, Kokomo Joe is ready to change your world. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
