Update: Joey was adopted on December 17th! Joey needed rescue because he had an apple-sized tumor low near his paw on his right front leg. His previous owners were in financial distress and could not provide any care for him.

Joey is good with other dogs and he enjoys kind, mature children.

It is a miracle that I am with you today.
