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.
My #Boroughbreak Buddy writes: King Joe is an absolute sweetheart of a pup! According to his shelter notes, he hadn't been in a car before, so our day was already a brand new adventure for him. He handled it all well, even needed a little boost into the car. We went to a quiet park where he seemed to be very curious of what we were doing, taking in some sniffs and watching a group of people play flag football. He seemed to be nervous, often checking in with me for what I thought was for treats, but he really just wanted to jump up for a hug! After coming back to my apartment, he showed me his playful side, LOVING a penguin squeaker toy, initiating play. His notes said he resource guards, but he kept nudging me to play (we played gentle tug, he won every time!). He would follow me everywhere, so we sat on the ground together to play for a few minutes before he curled up next to me to nap. He seemed unsure of getting up onto the couch, adorably awkwardly climbing into my lap, eventually passing out falling deep asleep for a very good nap! When he woke he reminded me that he's still a young pup and was ready to play immediately and tried climbing back on the couch for more naps. From our day together, I would agree with his notes that he would benefit from a quiet home with people who will take things slow, allowing him to feel safe to acclimate on his own time. He is adorable, a lapdog, super fun, and will for sure be his future family's BFF! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 59.6 Age: 2yrs 3mths 1wks
