My story

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

Meet Joe the boxer!

Joe entered Baldwin Park Shelter as a stray. When he wasn't claimed, we scooped him up on December 16th to become a Frosted Face. Joe is 8 years old and weighs 52 lbs. He is a sweet boy who enjoys attention from our volunteers and staff.

Joe loves going on our weekly FFF hikes, and volunteers report he walks nicely on leash and is a fun companion on the trails. He easily walks 2-3 miles and has great manners and no reaction or barking when he encounters other dogs and horses!

Joe went on a two-week Frosted Fling, so we could learn what he is like in a home. His Fling Family reported that Joe...

- Was very affectionate and loving
- Would get excited to see them when they returned home
- Loved going on walks around their neighborhood
- Loved being petted and cuddled
- Had a great appetite

Joe went on a second Fling and again showed what a good boy he is! He went to the beach and to the office with his Fling Mom. He was very quiet during a meeting and laid her co-worker's feet! As you can see in the video, when Joe was at home, he had lots of fun playing with his toy!

As much as Joe loves people, he is not well socialized with dogs and is eligible for our Molly & Me Project paid foster program.

The Molly & Me Project is for senior dogs left behind by their owners that are poorly socialized with other animals, but they are incredibly loyal companions to humans and likely have been for many years. M&MP dogs are difficult to place and often find themselves in long term isolated kennel boarding or facing euthanasia. The Molly & Me Project was implemented to recruit people that have no other animals who can carry out our mission of family to love dogs like Molly who need to be an only pet long term.

Requirements:
- No other animals of any kind in the household
- Submit weekly photos
- Live an enriching life and include the Frosted Face
- Demonstrate ability to avoid scenarios of negligence that would put the Frosted Face or other animals at risk

Incentives
- $200.00/month for a term of 12 months
- We pay for veterinary expenses
- Receive donated food and supplies

If you are looking for a wonderful buddy, and you don't have other pets in your home, please consider fostering or adopting Joe!
