Joey is an 18-lb Chihuahua mix with a gentle, cautious nature shaped by his past. He was lovingly surrendered when his owner could no longer care for him and is now learning to trust and enjoy life with the help of his fosters. Joey is coming out of his shell and showing his playful “happy feet” during mealtimes and outdoor adventures.

Joey thrives on connection and wants to be near his people, even if he’s not yet sure how to ask for affection. He does very well in his crate, which is his safe space, and enjoys chewing on nylabones. Joey loves to explore the outdoors—his favorite activity is sniffing everything, hinting at some hound in his ancestry!

Why Joey Is So Special 🐶

🐾 18 lbs | Chihuahua mix | Slightly shy, cautious, and loving
💛 Loves being near people, watching, and wanting to connect
🏡 Crate-trained, learning potty and leash manners
🎾 Loves sniffing outdoors, chewing on toys, and observing the world
🦮 Benefits from having another dog to model behavior

Joey would do best in a calm, quiet home with older, respectful children. He needs owners who are home most of the day and patient with continued potty training, leash walks, and outdoor play. Having another dog to buddy with would help him gain confidence and model appropriate behavior.
