He was rescued from a hoarding situation and we don’t know how he became a tri-pod. <br/><br/>Because Joey came from a hoarding situation, it takes him some time to feel safe and comfortable. When he first arrived in foster care, it took him a few days to warm up – but once he does, he becomes a very loving, loyal little companion.
