Joey is the ideal companion for someone who appreciates a dog with a gentle demeanor and laidback personality. He's an independent yet affectionate guy who's happy to walk and explore or soak up some pets and attention. He's perfectly housetrained and loves to keep his kennel nice & neat! Joey is currently on a weight-loss journey and is looking for an adopter who's committed to helping him shed some pounds and feel his best. A regular exercise routine and food monitoring will keep him happy and healthy. Joey is also a bit of a local star, having been featured on 10 News and NBC7 as their Pet of the Week as well as on KUSI for a Walk for Animals segment. At the TV stations he greeted everyone with tail wags and rode perfectly in the car to and from. Adopting Joey means bringing home a loyal friend who's ready to share in all of life's quiet moments and adventures! At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered.
