My story

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

Our sweet pea, Joey Taco, is looking for true love! He's an adorable young pup who never truly grew into his giant ears, and we are obsessed. Whether he's bouncing alongside you on a walk, batting around a new toy, or flopping on his back for belly rubs, those ears are movin' and groovin'!



Joey came to us in really rough shape a few months back after being found in critical condition by animal control, and we're so grateful to see him flourish in a foster home. Joey is friendly with other dogs, but he was a little too exuberant during his cat test, so we are hesitant to place him in a home with feline friends. He has some playfulness and mischievous puppy energy and would benefit from continued training when he transitions to a forever home. But he's a super sweet boy and loves to be loved on. If you (like us) are completely smitten with Joey Taco and his floppy ears, then apply to adopt this love bug today. 



 



All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Please note that the listed location for this dog may not be accurate due to technical limitations of this database and we have transportation options available within 6 hours of NYC (so don't let location hold you back)!
