About Joe

Meet Joe! He came to us as a stray, and unfortunately, his owner didn’t reclaim him. Joe is a happy, spunky boy ready for his next adventure. He recently had a large mass removed but is recovering well and greets everyone with wagging tails and smiles. At around five years old, Joe has moved past the silly puppy stage. He knows how to sit and appears to be potty trained. Joe would love a retirement home where he can enjoy sunbathing outside, lounging on the couch, and indulging in tasty snacks. Joe previously lived with another dog, so if you have pets at home, a meet and greet is recommended. If you’re interested in meeting Joe, submit an adoption form online. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
