About Joe
Joe is a neutered and vaccinated, 39-pound mix of Treeing Walker Coonhound and Rat Terrier, about 3.5 years old. He's affectionate with his people but does have a bite history with strangers, typically tied to resources like food and toys. Now undergoing rehabilitation, Joe is ready for adoption, but he needs an experienced owner who can help him build trust. Understanding his body language and continuing his training is essential for his progress. With soulful brown eyes and a wagging tail, Joe is full of joy. He loves snuggling, playing, and long walks in the woods. You can catch him happily sniffing outdoors or enjoying some sunbathing while chewing on his stuffies. Joe knows basic commands and is trained on an e-collar for off-leash adventures. A fenced yard or spacious land is necessary for Joe, and he must be the only dog in a home without cats or children. If you're considering adopting him, be prepared for a meet-and-greet and some training to ensure you can handle him safely and confidently. Support from a Certified Trainer will continue after adoption. Ready to meet this great boy? Apply to adopt Joe today!
