About Joey D

Joey D came up from Arkansas looking for his new home. He's a small mix of Pomeranian and Chihuahua, and brings plenty of sweetness with him. Joey does well with housetraining, though he still marks indoors and needs a belly band for now; he's not neutered yet, but that should change soon. This guy is silly and a bit adventurous, though he keeps close by and never strays out of sight. He sleeps well in his crate but would much rather curl up with you at night. Joey enjoys being petted and will happily soak up attention, though he sometimes chooses a quiet spot at the end of the couch to relax by himself. He gets along with dogs, cats, and children, making him a good choice for many families. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
