Meet the incredible Joe! 🎉 This 80-pound Dane mix is a gentle giant who celebrates his 7th birthday this April. Originally adopted in 2020, Joe faced some challenges that led him back to rescue this past fall after a call from a local shelter. They had to surrender him for euthanasia due to allergies—can you believe it? 💔 But fear not! With our loving care, Joe has successfully managed his allergies through food testing, dietary adjustments, and even a Cytopoint injection. He’s feeling fantastic and is absolutely ready to discover his forever home! Joe is the epitome of mellow and affectionate. Picture this: a cozy night in, and there’s Joe, happily napping on the couch, or sweetly cuddling next to you during movie night. 🌙 He brings a calm, soothing presence to any atmosphere, making him the perfect companion for those craving tranquility in their lives. Typically, Joe shows a little extra love for women at first, but don’t you worry! Once he’s comfortable, this gentle soul forms strong, meaningful connections with everyone—including men. He may be friendly, but he’s looking for that special someone to bond with! 💖 He gets along well with other dogs and enjoys low-key playtime, especially running around in the yard. Just remember: slow introductions are key! Joe is a peaceful guy who prefers harmony in his playdates, making him the ideal roommate for existing pups. 🐶 Joe adores his daily walks and knows how to heel like a pro. He has a bit of a nervous streak around other dogs, particularly in busy areas. With a kind, attentive handler by his side, Joe can stay calm—sometimes offering a little bark here and there to express his thoughts. A quieter suburban or rural setting will make him the happiest pup in the world! 🌳 This wonderful boy is also crate trained, house trained, and has some great indoor manners. And at bedtime? He politely waits for the green light to join you on the bed, but be warned: once he gets that invite, this certified bed hog will snuggle in tight! 🛏️💤 Joe would thrive in a home full of calm, attentive humans, preferably in a less urban environment. He’s looking for someone who appreciates a true couch companion and a friend loyal enough to win your heart! ❤️ Are you ready to bring Joe into your life? Trust me, he’s waiting for that special connection! Come and meet him, and let your hearts collide! To adopt Joe, you must apply through the Buddy App! 🐾✨
