Approximate Age: 3 years old     SEX: male

Approximate Weight: 30 lbs.

Joe is a sweet 3 year old Boxer mix. He weighs about 50 lbs and, because of his age, is done growing. We don't know how this sweet boy ended up in a shelter but it hasn't dampened his spirits one bit and he can't wait to meet his forever family!

Joe will need plenty of exercise and playtime each day to be a happy and healthy pup. He would love to go on daily long walks, hikes and regular trips to the dog park. After he's tuckered out, Joe loves cuddling up for a nice nap and belly rub. He can't wait to go to obedience training with his new family so that he can bond with his people and become his very best self!

Joe is good with other dogs so he'd be a great addition to an existing pack or happy to soak up all the attention as an only dog. The nice folks at Lucky Dog don't know how Joe is with young children or cats but if you're interested, let us know and we can try to find out! 

Like most shelter dogs, Joe may need a refresher on housetraining. He is likely crate trained.

Overnight foster update: He was great at getting along with other dogs and my dog (loves to play!) Joe is very very cuddly sweet boy. Loves being by humans and getting affection. He did great in the crate the one night we crated him.

Joe has tested positive and been treated for for Heartworm disease. Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites.  Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative.

The adoption fee for this dog is $450, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment. If you are interested in adopting, please download our Adoption Questionnaire and email it to Meg at megh@luckydoganimalrescue.org
