Joey

Joey is looking for an adult-only home. He could live with other dogs and potentially cats and small animals though we have no history of his behaviour around such animals.

Joey is a lovely young boy who sadly finds the world around him quite worrying and overwhelming at the moment. Occasionally, he lets his guard down for a few moments and will have some zoomies, so we sometimes get to see glimpses of the happy, carefree boy he has the potential to be.

Once he’s comfortable with you, he’s an affectionate little lad who seeks reassurance from his human friends. He hasn’t yet relaxed enough to play or interact with toys, but will take treats from those he’s familiar with.

We have no background information on Joey’s life prior to his arrival here at the shelter and so we don’t know what kind of home environment he’s been used to previously. He desperately needs to find a forever family who can provide him with the love, safety and stability he deserves, who can help him build his confidence and learn that the world isn’t such a scary place.

Joey is looking for a home with experience of nervous dogs, who can offer him the time, patience and understanding he needs and who can allow him to settle in at his own pace whilst he finds his feet and overcomes his worries. We have no doubt that, once he’s made himself at home, he will make an incredibly rewarding addition to his forever family.
