Additional info:
Joey is as close to perfect as you can get in a dog. He arrived at the shelter as a stray. Poor guy was so neglected that he was under weight and his collar was embedded into his neck which cause a wound. This has completely healed. Joey is 5 lbs of cuddly cuteness. He loves belly rubs and nuzzling up to his person. He is great in his crate, perfectly housetrained (outdoors and with pee pads) and almost never barks. He is so tiny he loves being carried in a purse! He is loving and gentle and affectionate. Joey is great when meeting new people and is good with kids. He gets along well with other dogs although he may have a moment's adjustment because he is so much smaller than almost any other dog he meets. Joey is a sun bunny who loves lying in the sun and napping. He would be so grateful to have a new, forever home and you would be so lucky to have this fabulous little guy.
