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

The Story of Joey

Once upon a time, there was a family who had 4 dogs. Two males and two females. The family refused to get any of these dogs fixed, so the female dogs kept breeding. The family never kept the puppies...they ended up in shelters by themselves.

One day, a complaint went out about this family. An officer was able to take one of the female dogs to the shelter with all 11 puppies from both female dogs. For awhile the Mom dog was safe with her puppies. But the lady who owned the dog demanded her dog back. Since there are no current laws that state you must get your dog spayed and/or neutered, the Mom dog had to go back with the family and leave her 11 puppies behind.
Heart breaking as it was for the Mom to be taken away, the 11 puppies were safe.
The shelter called several rescues to help and we were honored to be one of them.

Joey is very small and takes a beating but he always fights back with vigor! One tough little boy! He is my Velcro pup. Will sit in your arms staring at you for as long as he can and then sleep the sleep of the dead. His blue eyes follow you at all times and is beside himself if you look his way.
LOVES the walk on a leash. Also quiet, but will growl if the other two start up on him or try to steal his food. He is a little shy and waits for the other two. Kids need to be quiet and slow moving around him. He loves other dogs ...especially his sister Ginger who he snuggles with often.

Joey is an 10 weeks old Shar Pei mix, 4 pounds, UTD on vaccinations and micro chipped.
