Joey

Meet Joey! Joey is a Terrier mix and approximately four-years-old.

Joey had a rough start to his young life.

A good Samaritan that cleaned the pool at the owner's house saw that Joey lived outside 24/7 and he was the one that gave Joey fresh water once a week.

The Samaritan felt so bad for the dog and asked the owners to surrender him.

They immediately said yes and not to bring him back.

Even though Joey suffered the neglect that he did, he's a very sweet and fun dog...

with plenty of Terrier 'tude still! ;-) Joey can be shy when meeting new people and his adopters will need to go slow and understand that because he was an outside dog, it will take him time to adjust to living in a house.

Once he knows you, he solicits pets and can be carried.

Joey has learned very quickly to use pee pads in his kennel and usually waits until he gets outside before doing his business.

Joey is food and toy possessive and doesn't like when anyone attempts to take away his treats.

He can also get nippy when reached for too fast.

For these reasons, Joey should not go to a home without small children.

Joey is dog selective but he does like Rowland (another Chi Town rescue dog) and loves to chase him around the yard.

Joey is neutered, recently groomed, has a microchip and his current vaccines.

If you would like to meet Joey, please contact Chi Town Rescue to make an appointment.

He would love to go home soon! Call us at and/or email for a meet and greet appointment.
