Joey

My story

Joey is a sweet, sensitive soul looking for a patient and loving forever home. At just over a year old, this adorable Chiweenie is house-trained (no accidents!), walks beautifully on a leash, and comes when called. He’s not aggressive at all and gets along well with other dogs—and likely cats too! Joey is very cautious around new people and needs time to feel comfortable, especially with men. He’s finally okay with a man in his current foster home, but it’s taken nearly a year of slow, gentle interaction. Because of this, a quiet, female-only home would likely be the best match, though a soft-spoken, calm male may be okay with plenty of patience. Loud environments or children would likely be too overwhelming for him. Once Joey feels safe, he becomes incredibly affectionate—he’s snuggly, loyal, and wants nothing more than to be near his person. He’s naturally curious and shows more of his personality each day. Having another calm, confident dog in the home could really help him continue to come out of his shell. Joey doesn’t have any behavioral issues—he’s just learning to trust the world at his own pace. If you can offer a peaceful home and a little extra understanding, Joey will reward you with devoted companionship and a heart full of love. If you're looking for a gentle, loving pup who just needs time and kindness, Joey might be the perfect fit. 💛 If you are interested in meeting Joey, please fill out an adoption application on the Carver Scott website today.
