About Joe

Meet Joe, a remarkable pup with an incredible story. Rescued from a puppy mill where he was confined and used for breeding, Joe is far from average. While he may have some traits of a Labrador Retriever, his large double dewclaws hint at a possible mix with breeds like Great Pyrenees or Anatolian Shepherd. He’s about 1 to 2 years old and weighs around 60 pounds. Now in a loving environment at Paws In Prison, Joe has quickly adapted to life outside of a cage. He’s sociable, eager to learn, and delights in his newfound freedom. With a charming demeanor and a near-constant smile, he radiates happiness. Joe is not only smart and friendly but also good with other dogs. Although he hasn’t been around children yet, we believe he would be great with them too. Joe is currently undergoing training, expected to graduate by mid-December. However, if you’re ready to welcome him into your home sooner, he can leave before his training ends. Neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped, Joe is ready to find a loving family. If you’re in the market for a best friend who will love you endlessly, Joe is your guy. Located in Alexander, AR, transport options are available for adoption on Saturdays. Don’t wait—apply today!
