About Joey

Joey is a 10-month-old mixed breed puppy with a loving personality. Soft and playful, he thrives on human interaction and enjoys being around people. Weighing in at 25 pounds, he’s expected to stay under 30 pounds, thanks to his Chihuahua heritage. Joey has excellent recall but can be a bit timid around strangers—he may bark or lunge on the leash, though he does not bite. This gentle companion would be perfect for someone looking to provide a nurturing home. He gets along well with dogs and can keep your other pets company, but he's best suited for a family where he can feel safe and loved. A yard for playing and frolicking would make him especially happy. Ready to welcome Joey into your life? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
