Are you right for Joey pup?

Joey is a sensitive lad who has come a long way in his journey but still has much to learn about normal life. Despite not having the best start, he has made significant progress and continues to show potential with the right guidance. Joey can be worried by new people and he tends to jump up at people, including his handlers, which is a behaviour that will need continued training. Joey's new family must be patient and understanding, helping him build confidence and learn basic manners. Moderate exercise and mental stimulation will help him thrive, and he will benefit from further socialisation. He must live with another, confident dog and he can also have doggy friends on his walks. Joey travels well in the car but is still learning to get in and out. He is housetrained to an extent, toileting when out and about, though accidents in the home are still possible.

Is Joey pup right for you?

Joey's ideal home would be with sensible and patient owners who live within an hour of the centre, as regular meetings will be necessary to build trust before adoption. He needs a safe space where he can feel secure, and his new owner should be prepared to follow an introduction plan to help Joey acclimate to new people and environments. Once he is settled in his new home, his new family will need to gradually build up the time he spends alone. With time and trust, he warms up to gentle affection. Given his sensitive nature, Joey would thrive in a calm and stable environment where he receives consistent guidance and support. If you are ready to offer Joey the time, patience, and love he needs, please apply. Joey is looking for a forever home where he can continue his journey towards a happier and more confident life.
