🌟 Meet Joseph, the gentle giant with a heart of gold! This sweet Shepherd/Husky mix was discovered near the beach on Christmas Eve, soaking wet from the rain, and ready to find his forever home. Weighing in at a sturdy 71 lbs and estimated to be around 6-8 years old, Joseph is a true survivor with a story that will tug at your heartstrings. Joseph's coat might have been neglected in the past, leaving him with thin fur on his back and tail, but thanks to some medicated baths, his beautiful fur is already making a comeback! 🛁 This boy truly deserves a second chance, a loving family, and a cozy spot to call his own. His laid-back nature shines through during walks. Picture this: he hops into the truck bed and rides quietly, yet can't resist barking at passing pups—what a character! He explores at a leisurely pace and knows how to navigate that 30-foot lead without tripping up his human. 🐾 With gentle corrections, he’s mastered the art of walking beside his handler and is an absolute pro at holding his own during city strolls. Here’s where it gets delightful! Joseph has a gentle play style that’s safe for kids. He’s a patient little soul who will never jump on anyone, making him the perfect companion for family adventures. 💕 Plus, he absolutely adores praise and affection, allowing you to shower him with love through every pet and scratch. He may not have had the best start, but he’s ready to reward your kindness tenfold. A few notes for his future family: Joseph needs a home without kitties and isn’t a fan of being crated. He enjoys the company of other dogs, especially his playtime pals in the yard. Fun fact: instead of wagging his tail side to side, Joseph pumps it up and down like a happy little metronome! 🎶 Just imagine the joy he’ll bring to your life! Joseph will thrive with a family committed to his grooming needs to help that fur keep filling in beautifully. ❤️ If you feel that you have the love and attention Joseph deserves, he’s waiting to meet you! 📝 Adoption applications are a must!
