My story

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

Joey will be 5 on July 23, 2021. He still acts like a puppy and thinks he’s was smaller. He needs a lot of attention and loves to be pampered. He loves getting his hair brushed and teeth cleaned. He will need someone to manage his hair and take him to the groomers regularly. He’s a high maintenance dog, but he’s worth it. He is good with kids but take the with a gain of salt because he is really aggressive. We’ve had kids around him and he’s been fine, but we are watching him always when their around and as soon as he’s uncomfortable we separate them. We did have to give up our male Chihuahua because Joey kept attacking him. He likes girls and is scared of boys. He has attacked someone and cut open his hand. He can also be the biggest cuddle bug so it really depends on if he likes you. He’s only attacked a person once. He has to be the only dog in the house. Please don't put in an application if you have other dogs.
