About This Dog

Joey's ideal home

If you have ever wondered what owning a turbo-drive kidney bean is like, then you should definitely learn more about Joey! This little guy is looking for a home where he can enjoy the quieter things in life. He's able to share his home with secondary school aged children, but would like to be the only dog in the home. He can pass dogs calmly out on walks, and could have a doggy walking friend or two, but he isn't keen on playing with other dogs. Being an older boy, Joey does need a ramp to get down two steps in his foster garden, and needs sofa stairs or similar to access the sofa freely. Joey is housetrained, and is a delight to have around.

Could you be Joey's perfect match?

Joey considers himself to be a part-time couch potato. Whilst he does love napping on the sofa with his person (taking up more room than you would think possible), he also enjoys a good stroll, and gets super excited to see his harness. When on his walks, he walks very nicely on the lead - and kicks it into fifth gear when he feet touch the grass at the local park, having a little zoom and then spending most of his time there in a slow jog! Joey does need to lose some weight, so him being an enthusiastic walker will help with this, but his new owners will need to be mindful of this when feeding him. You will need willpower of steel though as he stares straight into your soul with unblinking eyes when you are eating your meals!
