Hi there, future friend!
My name is Joey, and I have a feeling we could be the perfect match.
I’ve had a bit of a rough start in life. After being abandoned, I ended up on death row in a pound with my time running out. But thanks to a wonderful foster carer and Off The Chain K9 Rescue, I was given a second chance!
Since coming into foster care, I’ve been nothing but a joy. My foster carer has given me a great foundation, and I’ve learned to love life again. I spend my days happily exploring the yard, napping, and playing with my furry foster siblings. At night, I’m a real sweetheart—I love snuggling on the couch for TV time and then settling into my crate, where I sleep soundly through the night. Oh, and one more thing—I absolutely love having my paw held. It’s my way of showing you that you’re my special person!
I’ve met all sorts of dogs during my time in foster care and have gotten along well with them, though I sometimes need a little space when younger dogs get too rowdy. I even get along with cats! I’m also a fan of car rides and kongs, and I’m super motivated by food (yum!). While toys still confuse me, I’m open to finding the perfect one someday.
I’ve experienced a lot of “firsts” in foster care—baths, vet visits, and road trips—and I’m learning quickly. I’d love to go on adventures with you a few times a week, whether it’s a fun outing, a run, or a walk. Even though I have some wolfhound in me, I’m a bit on the shorter side, standing just above knee height. I’m mostly done growing, so what you see is what you get!
To keep me safe, I’d need a home with a 6-foot fence or taller. And because I can get lonely when my humans are busy, having a doggy friend to keep me company is important to me.
So, what do you say? If you’ve made it this far, maybe it’s a sign! I might just be the perfect companion you’ve been looking for. Apply to adopt me today—I can’t wait to meet you!

DOG ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OTCadoptionapp
If you apply to adopt but require us to hold the pet more than 3 days before meeting, we will ask you for a non-refundable holding deposit of $100. If you are unwilling to put a deposit on the pet, we will continue to advertise and speak with other potential adopters. This holding deposit will be subtracted from the adoption fee should you adopt the animal on hold for you.

NEED TRANSPORT?
1. Apply to adopt per the above process.
2. Get quotes and select your desired transporter. We recommend Aeropets, Jetpets, and Dogtainers. Contact us for weights, height etc where needed. We also recommend Pet Waggin pet transport who can assist with road transport.
3. Message or email us to say you have applied and that you will require transport. Tell us which company and a potential departure date from that pet's nearest airport or meet point.
4. If your application is successful, we will lock in a date with you, coordinate any required 'fit to fly' certifications, a food delivery to your home, and appropriate training to make your new pet as comfortable on transport as possible.
5. All adoption contracts, adoption fees, and photo ID must be submitted to us via email before animal boards transport.
We will take into consideration the pet's ability to travel safely and comfortably before agreeing to send them on transport, and expect a high level of care from whatever company is engaged to move the animal.
