About Joseph
Meet Joseph, a 1-year-and-1-month-old male Labrador mix. Joseph embodies the classic Labrador spirit—happy, affectionate, and loves people. He gets along really well with everyone and has a reasonably calm demeanor for his age.
Joseph does have a bit of timidity, so he would benefit from an owner who can be a little patient as he warms up. However, once he does, he quickly becomes a loving and devoted member of the family.
Joseph is great with kids and good with other dogs. While he gets along with most dogs, he can sometimes clash with certain males. Therefore, he would prefer to live with female dogs but could also thrive with the right male whose temperament matches his own.
Given his youthful energy, Joseph will require daily exercise to keep him happy and healthy. Come meet Joseph today and see how quickly he will warm your heart and become a cherished member of your family!
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.

Apologies if we do not reply to your enquiry, we are a busy Shelter and get pulled away from the office often.
We appreciate you wanting to adopt! Please do not let this discourage you from adopting in the future!
