Adoption Fee: $475
When available, all animals are fixed in accordance with Colorado law, up to date on vaccines (may need boosters), and microchipped!
What we know: Single male transferred from Operation Kindness in TX. Was originally adopted from another shelter but surrendered to a new shelter due to adopter's allergies. He was set for euthanasia due to progressing blindness and reported kennel stress (kennel stress not observed at partner rescue or at CPR). Vet evaluation determined further care is not needed for his eyesight, and his blindness will simply progress throughout his life.
From the foster: Whiskey Joe is a friendly peaceful pup with a big heart, a playful spirit and an impressive ability to take the world in stride. He is vision impaired, by you wouldn't know it from the way he explores, plays and enjoys life.
Whiskey Joe loves other dogs and is the happiest when he has canine friends to play with or people nearby to keep him company. He is very social and affectionate, enjoys getting pets from his humans and loves being apart of whatever is going on.
One of Whiskey's favorite thing in the world is TOYS. He loves carrying them around, making them squeak and bringing them along wherever he goes. He even enjoys a a game of fetch, as long as he can hear where the toy lands!
He loves to sniff and explore new places. Whisky Joe has good leash manners, although unfamiliar locations or sounds can make him cautious. Because he may not exactly see what's making a new noise or shadow, he may need encouragement and reassurance before deciding everything is okay and the walk can commence. Once he figures it out, he is ready to keep moving.
Don't underestimate his ability to navigate his surroundings either. Whiskey Joe confidently gets around a backyard with multiple steps and a large retaining wall. Give him a little time to learn a new environment and he does an amazing job.
He is working on mastering basic commands such as "sit" or "lay-down". He is learning how to jump in he car, but once inside, he is a model passenger.
Whiskey Joe would love a home where he can hang with his people, and the companionship of some friendly dogs. He is playful, curious, affectionate, and adaptable.
If you're looking for a sweet, social pup who loves toys, friends and exploring and simply being a part of the family, Whiskey Joe is your guy!
