About Joey
Joey is a smart, handsome boy, who's affectionate and full of energy. His foster carer says he knows all the basic commands like sit, stay, and come. His favourite game is fetch--he could run around chasing a ball AALLLL DAY!. He also loves a good game of tug of war, chewing his kong, or playing with water and the hose.
Joey came to SAFE quite anxious and not very confident. Once he knows you he has LOTS of love to give, but in a new place or with new people he can be nervous. We recommend he not go to a home with children. His lack of confidence is most obvious with his leash reactivity. On lead, he is highly reactive to people, dogs or even traffic, and will even lunge and pull at cars driving by. His carer can show you how best to walk him, and how to continue his on-lead training. A resident dog who is good on-lead could help reinforce Joey's training. Off lead, at home, he is a delight--both dog and cat friendly and has been fostered successfully with other dogs.
Joey's carer says he generally sleeps most of the day, and is waiting at the door with lots of kisses--super excited to see you when you get home from work. He loves to lay on your lap for a stroke, and will follow you around.
We believe the best home for Joey would be a stable, home/household with NO kids, a relaxed resident dog, and experienced dog owners prepared to take on the commitment of continuing Joey's leash training. He has been known to dig/chew/bark in the past when left alone too long (even with canine company) but has not done these with his current foster carer. Joey has had one failed adoption with a family who promised to work at his training and did not. This was our failure--so this time around we will be extra careful choosing an adopter, and you must be willing to provide regular updates on his progress as well as opportunities to come visit him often.
