My name is Joey: At shelter!

JOEY is one of the ten dogs brought into the shelter two weeks ago after their family moved away and left them behind. Joey and his brother JC are the shyest and least social of all the dogs, and we are working hard to earn their trust. Here’s what one of our volunteers says about Joey:

“I had to convince him to come out of the kennel to see me, and once he did, I had to then work with him and let him think that everything was his idea before he would cooperate with me.” Joey, is about 30 pounds. And he could be a beagle mix. These pictures make him look like a miniature St. Bernard! Because we have no clue what the family background was like for the dogs, other than ill care and neglect, we feel they would be better in a home where there are no young children running around. To apply to adopt this three-year-old, or his brother, or any other dogs at our shelter, please start with an application: https://www.friendsofcampbellcounty.org/info/adoption
