Joey finds his forever home

Back in 2005, we found Joey on Petfinder.com. We already had 2 female dogs, but felt the need to have a little boy dog, and started searching for a rescue. Joey came from West Virginia and was rescued by A to Z Rescue. His doxie mom was pregnant when she was rescued from a kill shelter.

Three little boys were born -- Joey, Jimmy and Jake. After fighting a terrible bout of scabies and hairlessness, we got him. Many oatmeal baths later, he grew into a little beagle, long-haired doxie mix. Our beagle Bailey, mothered him as you can see from an early picture. Joey is now 4 and is happy and healthy. He is such a love bug and has added so much joy to our lives.
