Pointer - Medium - Adult - Male - Dog - Joe
Description
Joe was one of the 145 dogs left orphaned in the desert when his owner died. He was rounded up on the the day of the big rescue and went to "Camp Reno" for some intensive rehab. ( He was the only dog injured in the rescue, he bit his own ear) . Joe was eventually released to a "rescue facility". Joe was born and raised in the desert. All the sudden, he was locked up for 23 hours a day in a "white room with [no] curtains at the windows" ... for almost 5 months. Yes, Joe went mad. He's better now, after narrowly escaping death. The email came at 7:30 on a Friday morning. It said in essence " Joe was scheduled to be put to sleep today . If you want him, come get him." He was got. Joe was turned out in an an open yard with other dogs just to let him detox. He is now in a smaller yard, still with other dogs. Joe is not leash trained.... yet. But Joe is now taking treats from humans, playing tug of war with kennel workers and nuzzling hands. Huge accomplishments for this boy.If you have world of patience and are a dog whisperer by trade, sweet Joe is your dog.
