Joe is an 8-month-old mixed breed dog, weighing about 21 lbs. He’s inherited his mother’s wisdom, making him a bit cautious around unfamiliar faces. Initially, he might seem perplexed, especially if you ask him to strike a pose without his mom nearby. However, with a bit of patience, he soon transforms into an affectionate companion eager to befriend you. Though he's adaptable, Joe thrives in the company of other dogs and can coexist with cats, albeit with a touch of uncertainty at first. His demeanor softens as his trust builds, revealing a loving spirit beneath his cautious exterior. This little sweetheart walks well on a leash and demonstrates his intelligence through obedience. Joe appreciates a gradual approach to bonding, so he is perfect for someone ready to take their time. With his combination of playfulness and gentleness, Joe promises to be a loyal friend. He’s already been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. While the shelter can't confirm his house training status, he shows clean habits and spends nights without incidents. Joe hasn’t displayed aggression towards any humans, making him a good candidate for homes with children, given proper introductions. Help Joe feel safe, shower him with love and treats, and you’ll gain an incredible companion. Ready to start this journey? Apply today!
