Joey's Story

Joey is a 4 month old dachsund chihuahua (chiweenie) mix who's about 12 lbs of absolute puppy love.<br/><br/>He was a part of a litter that was named after transformers, but is the last puppy to find his home and his personality outshines his baby name! Joey is a sweet sensitive puppy that<br/><br/>likes being held in your arms, and enjoys getting affection and belly rubs. His favorite thing is chasing toys, the hose water, and cuddling.<br/><br/>Are you the right family for Joey?<br/><br/>Since his other siblings have been adopted, Star has been feeling quite nervous about the big wide world, and will need a family that will<br/><br/>be patient with<br/><br/>showing him new experiences, keep his world small, and grow his world at his pace. Taking him to puppy classes, puppy socials, and low-stake positive experiences will help him gain confidence over time<br/><br/>. He will benefit from a calm home that is gentle, loving, and patient. In return, he will be your loving companion, and with your guidance will grow into a brave pup who will always be by your side! A confident dog sibling will also help him with his confidence, and he loves playing with the dogs he lives with in his foster home.<br/><br/>Joey is learning lots of things like potty training, crate training, some very basic tricks like "sit" and "touch". He sleeps great in a crate throughout the night by his foster mom's bed, and if he needs to go out in the early morning for a potty he'll wake you up with a cute little yowl to let you know he's up. He knows how to settle in a crate for a few hours when he has to be left alone, and will wait patiently for you to let him out when you get back. His potty training skills are going great, and knows what "go potty" means, but of course will need continued positive reinforcement and chaperoning to go outside.<br/><br/>Puppies adopted from Underdogs Rock! Rescue are required to go to force-free puppy classes with their new families because we know these classes are essential to providing puppies and their new families with a foundation of guidance and support as they grow up. Underdog puppies will have<br/><br/>their vaccines and microchipped covered, and our rescue will<br/><br/>cover their spay/neuter when they reach the appropriate age. Adoption fee is $525.<br/><br/>He is being fostered in SE Portland. You MUST have an Underdogs Rock Rescue application on file to request a meet with an Underdog. An online Underdogs Rock adoption application can only be accessed at https://underdogsrock.org/adopt-a-dog . You must be available to meet an Underdog in their foster's location and dogs are not held for applicants or shipped outside of the Portland metro area. Home checks are also part of the process and will be conducted virtually. For updates on all the Underdogs be sure to follow the Underdogs Rock Rescue Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/UnderdogsRockRescue
