Joey's Story

Meet Joey – Your Couch Companion King Joey is a 7-year-old, 14-pound Terrier mix with an adorable apricot and cream wire coat and the cutest little blocky head. Low grooming needs and low energy? Yes please. This boy is all about the simple life. Joey originally came from a hoarding situation and was lovingly adopted by his Dogworks foster. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen medical circumstances, she was no longer able to care for her dogs — so Joey is back with us and ready for his true forever home. If you’re looking for a dog who wants to run marathons or learn a dozen tricks… Joey is not your guy. But if you’re looking for a loyal couch buddy to binge Netflix with? He is absolutely your guy. His favorite thing in the world? Wiggling his way onto your chest or into your arms while you watch TV. He is a champion cuddler and takes his snuggle duties very seriously. Joey enjoys: • Lounging on the couch • Short, casual walks (optional but appreciated) • Car rides • Barking at the window like a responsible neighborhood watch member • Treats (taken gently, most of the time) He’s friendly when meeting new people and generally just a chill little dude doing dog stuff. He comes when called and responds well to calm verbal correction or a simple time-out. He does not like being grabbed quickly or yelled at, so he needs a patient, understanding adult home. Ideal Home for Joey: • Adults only • No cats (he thinks he’s tougher than he is) • Other calm dogs are fine • Someone who wants companionship more than performance • A relaxed home where he can just vibe Joey is crate trained, mostly potty trained (occasional accidents but does well with supervision or belly bands), and does not require a fenced yard — though he should not be left unattended outside until he’s settled in. He’s affectionate, independent, dignified, friendly, and proudly a couch potato. He may not be the most eager student, but he means well and loves deeply. If you’re looking for a low-key best friend who just wants to hang out and be your little shadow, Joey might be your perfect match. Joey is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped and is on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention His adoption fee is $350. Please follow the link below for the adoption application. Note: applicants must live within one hour of Toledo Ohio. http://www.dogworksohio.com/adoption-application.html

DogWorks Inc. Canine Rescue and Placement's Adoption Policy

Dogworks strives to place dogs into permanent homes based on the dogs' personalities and yours. To adopt a dog, we require a completed application, signed adoption contract, and home visit. Applications can be submitted online, by mail, or in person at adoption events. Once your application has been submitted, we will contact your references and consider suitability. You will be contacted by phone or email, typically within 4 business days, to make arrangements for adoption. If a particular dog is not placed with you, it does not mean that your application has been rejected. Dogworks receives multiple applications for some dogs. Foster families always have the first option to adopt. We do not approve applications on a first come basis as we strive for placement that is best for the dog and adoptive family. The home environment, family composition and yard are very important considerations in our decision to place a dog in a home. Some dogs do not do well with young children or cats, and our hounds require a fenced yard as examples of our decision process. Adoption fees are variable (typically $125-$500.00) and are listed with the description of each dog. All fees collected are used to cover rescue expenses, including foster care and veterinary expenses. Adoption fee will be refunded if you decide that the dog is not compatible with your family within 2 weeks. All dogs have received age appropriate vaccinations, GI dewormer, and heartworm test prior to adoption if they are old enough. Adult dogs and puppies older than 12 weeks are spayed/neutered. Adopters of younger puppies may be required to sign an agreement to complete spay/neuter by 5 months of age. We will assist with spay/neuter costs. All of our dogs and puppies will be microchipped prior to adoption. Adopters will receive a copy of medical records when adoption contract has been signed and adoption fees have been paid in full. Requirements for adoption: Please be aware that your adoption application WILL NOT be approved by Dogworks unless ALL of these criteria are met: >Adopters must be within a one hour radius of Toledo. >Adopters must be at least 21 years of age. >Veterinary reference must be positive. >All dogs in the home must be spayed/neutered. >All members of the household must be in agreement to adopt. >Individual needs of the dog must be met in prospective home (e.g., fully fenced yard for all hounds).
