Pet Profile
Meet Joey, an extremely sweet and friendly dog with a love for his humans. Joey is the ideal companion for someone who appreciates a dog with a gentle demeanor and laidback personality. He's an independent yet affectionate guy who's happy to walk and explore or soak up some pets and attention. He's perfectly housetrained and loves to keep his kennel nice & neat! Joey is currently on a weight-loss journey and is looking for an adopter who's committed to helping him shed some pounds and feel his best. A regular exercise routine and food monitoring will keep him happy and healthy. Adopting Joey means bringing home a loyal friend who's ready to share in all of life's quiet moments and adventures!
