DESCRIPTION
Joey has had a scary introduction to shelter life, and right now the world still feels like a pretty overwhelming place to him. Underneath all that uncertainty, though, is a dog who deserves the chance to learn that people can be patient, gentle, and safe. Dogs like Joey are often the ones who form the deepest bonds once they finally realize they do not have to be afraid anymore. Watching a fearful dog slowly start to trust can be one of the most meaningful experiences an adopter ever has.
Joey will need a calm, understanding home that can give him time to decompress and settle in at his own pace. He is looking for someone who will celebrate the little victories, whether that is taking treats more confidently, relaxing enough for soft pets, or simply choosing to stay close by. Joey may not be the dog who bursts into a room full of confidence right away, but there is something incredibly special about earning the trust of a dog who truly needs someone in his corner.
Adoptions include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving with you. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet
