My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello World!
I’m Joey, an adorable and handsome Bichon boy of 4 who is the perfect blend of loving and sweet. I love to go for walks and rides in the car - and to be with other dogs and people. I also love being brushed and looking handsome. Mom says wherever I go people stop her to comment and ask to meet me – I’m just that kind of fellow!
A few weeks ago I was very sad because I did not know what was happening. My former Mom had to go to this place called ‘Assisted Living’ and she could not take me. I was very unsure of what to do but she told me to be a big boy and be brave - and that I would find another Mom (and maybe a Dad, too) who would love me like she did. So I became a FurKid and she was right. I now have a foster Mom who is giving me lots of love and attention and that helps me feel better already. And once I’m in my Forever Home with my Forever Family, well then life will be just as wonderful as it can be. Joey
My Foster Mom says that I love my toys—especially my “Santa doll.” When I can’t find someone to play with me, I toss my Santa doll into the air and play with it all by myself! I also like to play chase with my doggy foster sisters and brother. And I truly enjoy the little things in life - like treats, toys, and belly rubs.
I‘m cute, snuggly, friendly, SMART and a great listener! I’m crate trained, housebroken and sensitive to your needs. If you ask me if I want to go potty or go for a walk or ride, I know what you want and I’m ready! Mom says that shows that I’m very eager to please – and that I adore attention. You can see in my eyes how happy I am when I am loved and near you! I’m truly a very special boy.
My Aunties say I’m special in other ways, too. Last year I had this thing called a surgery to take care of a small cancer. I sailed through that like the champ that I am and didn’t look back for a second. Then two months ago Mom noticed that I was having some difficulty seeing things at night. She took me to an eye doctor vet who said I have a ‘condition’ and that I am gradually going to lose my eyesight. I am so smart and loving that I’m going to still be the same great joyous boy I have always been. I’ll just see with my heart when that time comes!
So if you’re looking for a handsome, loving, sweet and smart little guy who likes to go for walks and rides and give lots of love – and if you have a big heart and a warm lap, please ask for me.
Patiently waiting with all my heart,
Joyous and Jubilant Joey
