About Joey

Meet Joey, a sweet young dog who just joined the rescue. He’s around 3 to 4 years old and found himself here after an emergency surrender. Though he’s a bit bewildered, he’s well-groomed and clean—despite a lingering scent from a skunk encounter. Joey might be a teddy bear mix, possibly a Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso blend, weighing in at 17 lbs. Today, he's getting neutered and will be ready for a loving home shortly. Joey gets along well with other dogs, which makes him a good candidate for a family with pets. If you're looking for an affectionate companion with curly hair and a friendly disposition, Joey might just be the perfect fit. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
