Joe

Description

Meet Joey:  Joey is a sweet, 6-month-old male, 25 pound, Labrador Retriever who is ready to steal your heart and claim your lap. While the shelter originally named him after the Jonas Brothers, his foster family quickly realized he is much more like Joey from Friends—especially with those soulful, melting "How you doin’?" eyes. The Perfect Package Joey gives you all the best parts of having a puppy with almost none of the trouble. He is expected to grow to a manageable 50 lbs and already has the calm demeanor and pleasant personality of a much older dog. • The Ultimate Snuggle Bug: Joey’s absolute favorite place to be is curled up on your lap. In fact, he loves nothing more than being held exactly like a baby. • A+ House Manners: He is mostly house-trained, loves his toys, and chooses to chew on them rather than your belongings. While he has typical puppy curiosity, he is incredibly easy to redirect. • Crate & Car Champ: He enjoys car rides (usually curling up for a nap) and sleeps quietly through the night in his crate after just a minute or two of settling down. • Smart & Food-Motivated: He takes commands beautifully, is eager to learn, and is highly motivated by treats!   The Great Diplomat (Kids, Dogs, and Cats!) One of Joey’s most remarkable traits is how beautifully he adjusts his personality to match anyone he meets:   • Cats: He currently lives with four cats and barely notices them. When they do meet face-to-face, he gives them a gentle nuzzle and respects their boundaries. • Dogs: He loves a good round of backyard zoomies with other dogs, but he also lives with a senior dog and is incredibly respectful of her space. He would thrive as an only dog or with furry siblings. • Kids: Joey absolutely loves kids of all ages!   Essentially, Joey has endless potential to be an extremely devoted, well-mannered companion for almost any family. The only question left is... do you have room on your lap for this big-eyed snuggle bug? ❤️ Please email us at AlmostHome4Dogs@Yahoo.com if you'd like more information or would like an application.   (Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.) PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster. We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php . We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at AlmostHome4Dogs@yahoo.com. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!
