Ace Aka Joey's Story

πŸ’™ MEET JOEY πŸ’™<br/><br/>90 pounds of love, comedy, and absolutely no understanding of personal space.<br/><br/>Name: Joey<br/>Age: Approximately 5 years old<br/>Breed: Dogo Argentino mix<br/>Relationship status: Single and eagerly looking for his forever person<br/>Love language: Quality time, physical touch, and being approximately four inches closer to you than necessary.<br/><br/>FOSTER UPDATEπŸ’™<br/><br/>I originally trained Joey in 2022, so I knew him well before he entered the shelter-and getting to foster him has given me the chance to see that wonderful personality come right back out.<br/><br/>Joey is goofy, affectionate, social, and incredibly people-oriented. If you're looking for an independent roommate who quietly keeps to himself, Joey would like to respectfully withdraw his application.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a hilarious 90-pound shadow who thinks whatever you're doing should probably involve him, he would like to schedule an interview immediately.<br/><br/>Watching TV? Joey can help.<br/>Making dinner? Joey will supervise.<br/>Going outside? Obviously you need security.<br/>Sitting on the couch? Scoot over.<br/><br/>His favorite thing really is simply being with his people. He loves affection and being included, but he can also settle down and relax with the family.<br/><br/>Joey is house trained and crate trained, has previous obedience training, and still remembers his commands beautifully. He's also been doing well around the other dogs in my home. Because he's a big, powerful guy, I would still recommend proper introductions with any potential canine siblings.<br/><br/><br/>Joey's dating profile:<br/><br/>Seeking: A committed, lifelong relationship. No situationships.<br/><br/>Green flags: Affection, consistency, comfy beds, snacks, adventures, and humans who don't mind having a very large shadow.<br/><br/>Red flags: People who believe "personal space" applies to dogs.<br/><br/>Ideal first date: We hang out. You pet me. We become emotionally attached. I move in. Simple. πŸ˜‚<br/><br/>Joey has been through a lot of change, but underneath the giant head, goofy personality, and complete disregard for personal space is a dog who really just wants someone to belong to.<br/><br/>Whoever gives Joey that chance is going to get one heck of a best friend. πŸ’™ Primary Color: Grey Secondary Color: White Weight: 87.8lbs Age: 4yrs 1mths 3wks Animal has been Neutered
