About Joey

Joey is a charming 8-year-old Chi Mix weighing about 11.4 lbs. This senior pup is currently looking for a loving home and is eligible for our foster-to-adopt program. He thrives in calm environments where he can receive the care and understanding that seniors require. Given his age, potential adopters should be prepared for routine veterinary visits and the possibility of emerging health issues, which may entail some emotional and financial commitment. Joey has a low energy level, making him quite chill indoors. He enjoys short walks throughout the day for potty breaks and to stretch his legs. Since he's still adjusting to his new surroundings, we are learning more about his adaptability to the city. He’s likely already potty trained, though seniors may need regular potty breaks and could have occasional accidents during the transition. Socially, Joey is friendly with other dogs and likely comfortable with cats, thanks to his mellow demeanor. While he's probably okay with kids ages 8 and up, adult supervision is essential. If you’re ready for the joys and responsibilities of caring for a senior dog, Joey could be the perfect companion for you. Ready to make a difference in a senior dog's life?
