My story

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

King Joe arrived at the QUACC as an owner surrender due to his previous owner not being able to care for him any longer. King Joe in his previous home was reported to bite the other resident dogs head and tail when the small dog approached his food. King Joe is also reported to have accidents daily, be destructive in the home and tend to chew at his leash on walks. In the care center, King Joe has been social with staff, but is a bit timid of new staff members approaching, starting to hard bark and tense up at new people. His previous owner's favorite thing about him is that he still acts like a puppy.

A volunteer writes: I asked King Joe if he used to be a prince and got promoted to king. He declined to comment and instead just looked at me with the sweetest little face I ever saw. My guess is he was born a king, a small one at 46lbs, but royalty nonetheless. The little man sits demurely on our lap, peaking over shoulders, and sneaking kisses. We love a black and white cookie, and King Joe is one of the sweetest 🥰

King Joe was with his most recent guardians for 2 months after his owner left him there and didn't return. He lived with a small dog and resource guarded from them. In his dog to dog greeting at the shelter he approached with a calm demeanor. The novel male tried to initiate play by pawing at King Joe, who responds with play bows. King Joe licked the novel male's muzzle while wagging his tail. However, King Joe becomes over whelmed with the interaction and sought comfort from handlers.
