Joey

Description

Updated: 6/8/2026 Dog Name: Joey Sex: Male Estimated Breed: Shih Tzu/Terrier Mix Approximate Age: 2 years Approximate Weight: 10-15 lbs Spay/Neuter Status: Neutered Description: If dogs could be described as “old souls,” Joey would fit the bill perfectly. Calm, gentle, and affectionate, this boy truly doesn’t have a bad bone in his body. He’s the kind of dog who is content to lounge nearby, soak up some cuddles, and simply be part of the family. He is fully crate trained and actually enjoys his crate, happily heading in on his own for quiet time or while the family is eating meals. He gets along wonderfully with young children, is great with cats, and does well with other dogs. While he’s friendly with canine companions, he’s more of a “let’s relax together” kind of guy and prefers to avoid rough-and-rowdy play. This low-energy pup isn’t looking for a hiking buddy or running partner. Instead, he’s searching for a family that appreciates a slower pace and plenty of snuggle time. He can manage hopping onto the couch for movie night, but stairs aren’t his favorite. He’s doing great with house training and appears to be housebroken. He is currently living with two other male dogs and has done a little marking, which isn’t uncommon in that situation. One of his most impressive traits is his excellent recall—he stays close and comes when called, making him a dream companion. As an added bonus, he rarely barks, sheds very little, and is incredibly easy to live with. He will need regular grooming to keep him looking and feeling his best.If you’re searching for a sweet, gentle cuddle bug who will bring calm, companionship, and unconditional love to your home, this handsome boy may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for.
