About Joey

Joey would thrive in a home where he can continue to grow at his own pace and would benefit from having another dog to play with. He may not do well with small children, as their energy could overwhelm him, but he is eager to bond with the right people. Joey is smart and a quick learner, making him a wonderful addition to a loving family. Think you could be the perfect match for Joey? Click apply to start the adoption process.
