Why Joey Feels So Special
🐾 Estimated 2 years old with a calm, mature temperament

🐱 Gets along great with cats
🐶 Friendly with dogs, but prefers a relaxed environment

Joey is the definition of easygoing. He enjoys lounging nearby, curling up for cuddles, and quietly being part of the family. While he gets along well with other dogs, he’s not interested in rough play—he’d much rather relax and coexist peacefully. His gentle nature makes him an especially comforting presence in the home.

He’s crate trained and actually enjoys his crate, often heading in on his own for rest or during mealtimes. He’s also doing very well with house training and appears to be housebroken. In a multi-dog home, he has shown a bit of marking behavior, which is not uncommon and can be managed with routine and structure.

The Gentle Life with Joey
✨ Low-energy and perfectly suited for a მშვიდ, slower-paced home
🛋️ Loves couch time, cuddles, and movie nights
📣 Excellent recall—he stays close and comes when called
✂️ Will need regular grooming to keep him looking his best

What Joey Is Looking For
✔️ A calm home that appreciates a low-energy companion
✔️ A family who enjoys quiet time and close companionship
✔️ A home with or without other mellow pets
✔️ Someone prepared for regular grooming care

Joey is a rare kind of dog—sweet, steady, and full of quiet love. He doesn’t ask for much, just a soft place to rest, kind people to love, and a home where he can truly belong. If you’ve been searching for a gentle, affectionate companion to share your days, Joey may be exactly the one you’ve been waiting for.
