Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Where did Cotton Eye Joe come from? We don’t know, but we sure know where he’s headed — straight into your heart! This lovable fella’s been through a lot, and after his family was evicted, he’s found himself in the shelter, looking for a place to settle down.
With some fur missing from a flea allergy, Joe's been treated and is ready for a fresh start. He’s a little nervous at first, but once he trusts you, he’ll be all about the snuggles and affection.
He’s lived with other dogs, so he wouldn’t mind a doggy buddy to share his new home. Joe just wants to be pampered, loved, and treated right. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and a bit of a country soul, come meet Cotton Eye Joe—he’s ready to be your best friend!
