About Joey
Joey is a resilient soul who has endured a tough start in life, coming from a heartbreaking hoarding situation where he was left chained outside alongside other dogs and pigs. Initially frightened and feral, he has slowly made progress in trusting people. Now at around 4 years old, this Lapponian Herder mix has shown his true colors — once he warms up, he's incredibly sweet! Joey needs a patient adopter who can provide him the love and care he's missed. He gets along well with other dogs, making him a suitable companion for a household with canine friends. This gentle giant has been with us for far too long and is ready to find a forever home where he can finally know what love feels like. If you think you can be that special someone, reach out today!
