Joanie is a sweet, soulful shepherd/hound mix, estimated to be around eight to ten months old. She starts out a little reserved when meeting new people or dogs, but it doesn’t take her long to open up. Once comfortable, Joanie becomes truly affectionate and fiercely loyal. She’s gaining confidence every week at doggy daycare, where her playful side is coming alive—especially with her favorite toys or when curled up beside someone she trusts. Joanie has a moderate activity level. She’s best suited to an adopter with some experience and the patience to help her keep building confidence with gentle guidance and positive reinforcement. She’s eager to please, quick to bond, and genuinely wants to be part of a loving home. Joanie is spayed, fully vaccinated, and heartworm negative. Local and out-of-state adoptions are possible, with transport available to approved adopters. Joanie’s ready to invest her heart—it’s up to you to show her the way forward.
