Joe Retriever & Shepherd Mix Oswego, IL

Meet Joe – The Spunky Pup With a Latte Personality!

Estimated DOB: 2/15/2025

Joe is part of our adorable coffee-themed litter who made their way from Tennessee to a safe, loving foster home in Illinois with their sweet momma, Nespresso. Now he’s on the hunt for a forever family to call his own!

This feisty little guy - who rocks a beautiful red brindle coat and beautiful green eyes - is full of personality and playful energy. Joe thinks he’s a big dog trapped in a tiny puppy body—he’s always the first to bark for attention and isn’t afraid to leap over his siblings to be front and center. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or snacks, Joe makes sure he’s not missing a thing!

This little man has proven himself to be a smart cookie and already knows sit and lay down! We think he’s going to be very good motivated and excited about training in his forever home as he grows up.

Joe is growing up in a foster home with kids and other dogs, and he’s already proving himself to be a confident, social pup who’s ready to take on the world.

We’ve also included a photo of his lovely mom, Nespresso. She’s a petite sweetheart, under 40 pounds, and while dad is a bit of a mystery, we expect Joe and his siblings to stay around her size.

If you’re looking for a bold, bouncy, and endlessly entertaining pup, Joe is your guy!

Adopters will receive a voucher valid at participating vets for his neuter when age appropriate.
