Joe

Joe (aka Joe Jonas) / M / 3Y / 5lbs / Chihuahua mix / Fostered in Owen Sound 

Joe is a tiny treasure who believes the best seat in the house is your lap! This 5-pound cuddle bug is looking for a special someone who appreciates the finer things in life - like leisurely afternoons in the yard, cozy nights on the bed, and the art of being perfectly portable.

Joe has mastered the art of selective enthusiasm. While other dogs might drag you down the street on walks, Joe has a different philosophy: "Why walk when you can be carried?" He'll simply sit and give you that look that says, "Aren't you going to pick me up?" It's hard to argue with that logic!

This charming little character has his own unique way of communicating. He'll greet visitors with a cautious bark from a safe distance, and he has the most adorable howl that he reserves for special occasions - like sirens or particularly exciting household moments. He will warm up to new people but needs some time.

Joe's ideal day involves plenty of lap time, some supervised yard adventures with canine friends, and being your constant companion. His fosters describe him as low energy. He's house-trained and sleeps through the night like a dream (preferably on your bed). He's working on basic commands and is highly motivated by treats - a smart cookie who knows what he wants!

Joe would thrive in a quiet, relaxed home where he can be someone's devoted four-legged shadow. He's perfect for someone who works from home or is often around, as he hasn't had to experience being alone yet. He appreciates a calm environment and would do best with gentle dogs and children 8+. He hasn't met any cats yet but we think he would be fine.

If you're looking for a hiking buddy, Joe isn't your guy. But if you want a loyal companion who will happily spend his days in your lap, follow you around the house, and provide endless cuddles, then Joe might just be your perfect match. He's not just a dog - he's a lifestyle of cozy companionship.
