My story

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

Joey is an absolute dreamboat....that's all there is to it! We can't say enough good things about our boxer mix friend that came to us from our Newark facility after he was found as a stray. Joey was skinny, scrawny and sickly when he arrived due to a neglectful life on the streets but now, he is positively thriving! He has plumped up and is healthy and happy, and Joey certainly holds no ill will toward anyone for letting him go. You would think Joey is a puppy with his sweet and goofy personality but he is about 5 years old. He's mature and well behaved when he needs to be but when he's off the leash in our exercise yard, it's all about fun. Joey runs after toys, squeaking away happily, and when he's tired himself out he'll climb right up your lap for some attention. Joey absolutely loves people and there is no shyness about him. He is gentle taking treats, sits perfectly when asked, and walks well on a leash. Joey seems eager to play with other other dogs and even likes to check out cats but would need supervision so he does not hurt them unintentionally. Joey is ready to start over with an active family that will give him exercise, attention, and lots of love, just like he deserves. File#26223 5/4/16
