Joker

My story

Meet Joker – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Second Chance 🖤🐾 Joker’s story is a heartbreaking one, but through it all, he’s remained full of love and quiet strength. A few years ago, he was adopted from our local shelter and lived a happy life with his doggy brother and loving owner. But this past year turned his world upside down—first losing his canine best friend, and then just a few weeks ago, his beloved owner passed away. His family was devastated. They knew what an incredible dog Joker is and were heartbroken they couldn’t keep him, but they wanted to give him the chance at a new, loving home. At 4.5 years old, Joker may be young in age, but he has the calm, wise spirit of an old soul. He’s incredibly low-maintenance, preferring to spend his days sunbathing, lounging, and quietly being near his people. He’s understandably shy at first when meeting new people, but within minutes he melts into affection and soaks up every bit of love offered. Joker’s former family shared that he’s potty trained, great with kids and dogs, and had no reaction to cats. He lived on open land where he ran free but never strayed from his yard. Inside, he free-roamed the home and was perfectly content cuddled up on his dog bed. Joker has lost so much, but he hasn’t lost hope. He’s waiting patiently for someone to open their heart and give him the love and stability he so deeply deserves. Could you be the one to help mend his heart? 💛
