About Joanie
Joanie, your gorgeous, 25kg personal space invader! 🐾
At one and a half years old, this female Boxer cross is a professional lover with a PhD in "Velcro-dog" studies. If you’re looking for a dog who understands boundaries, keep walking—Joanie believes she is a tiny lap dog and prefers to be on top of you rather than beside you.
Why Joanie will keep you smiling:
• The Resident Comedian: She is constantly making her foster family laugh with her goofy antics and total lack of spatial awareness.
• Super Athlete: Her energy levels are extremely high. She is a super-fast runner who plays at 110%—she needs a yard where she can really let rip!
• Affection Queen: She absolutely loves a cuddle on the couch. While she is happy to sleep in a crate, she is a total softie and would not take much convincing to sleep anywhere else you allow!
• Young at Heart: She is definitely still a puppy! While she loves to chew (hide your shoes!) and loves all toys, she is extremely intelligent and highly trainable.
• A "Personal Groomer": She is a world-class licker! She’ll happily lick your feet clean after a long day in boots, and if her fur-siblings allow it, she’ll even try to give their tonsils a thorough inspection.
• Life of the Party: If she isn't entertaining you, she’ll expect you to entertain her!
• Confident Girl: Joanie is a dominant dog who knows what she wants (usually more kisses!).
What Joanie is looking for:
Joanie is a social butterfly who would love people home more often than not. She also definitely needs a fur-sibling to be her playmate—someone who can keep up with her "play to the max" lifestyle!
Health & Training:
Joanie is desexed, vaccinated, and ready for her forever home. Because she spent far too much time in the pound, she is still mastering her house manners. She has improved immensely with her toilet training, but because she became comfortable on hard surfaces, she still occasionally defaults to the patio. She just needs a patient human to keep that progress going! She also has a prey drive, but she’s already doing great learning the 'leave it' command.
Joanie is a clumsy, energetic, and fiercely loving goofball. She doesn’t just want to be in your life; she wants to be in your lap!
If you’re ready for a lifetime of laughs and endless kisses, please apply to adopt Joanie through the link provided.
