Joey

Joey is a lovely young lad who came to us for rehoming due to being part of an unplanned litter that didn’t find a home, he came in with his Brother, Bear. He’s a mix of breeds… his Mum is a Labrador/Husky mix, and his Dad is a medium sized foreign rescue. He is slightly smaller than Bear. Unfortunately Joey had never been walked so didn’t have any socialisation with dogs, apart from the several dogs in his previous home… he can be vocal when he see’s another dog out on walks, but we feel that this is simply that he doesn’t know how to react – we have introduced him to several dogs here in our care and he has been find after the initial vocalisation. We are confident that with a routine, regular outings and plenty of training he will make a fantastic companion! He’s clever and seems keen to please. Joey is very affectionate with people, he gets very excited – a typical puppy! He loves a cuddle! He has lived with children and could go to a new home with children over 5yrs. Joey is still very much a puppy in his brain… he’s hadn’t had any training, but we have started to teach him the basics! He will be good fun, but will also need a fair amount of work with his training and socialisation. Joey did find a home, but sadly he was returned after 3wks, due to his separation anxiety in the home. He found it difficult to settle without all of ‘his people’ present, and if left alone he would continually jump up at the doors/windows. He will need a home where people are around majority of the time, and he may be better living with another dog for company – but this would depend on a dog meeting.
