Joel

Meet Joel! If you’ve been waiting for a little dog with a big personality, Joel might just be your perfect match. This adorable 3yo, 11-pound possibly Shih Tzu/Poodle/Schnauzer mix is packed with charm, playfulness, and love—and he's ready to find his forever family!

Joel is the kind of pup who lights up a room. He’s friendly, energetic, and always up for some fun. Whether it's chasing a toy around the house, romping around the yard, or playing with his doggie friends, Joel’s tail is always wagging. He gets along beautifully with other dogs and would love a canine buddy in his forever home—but he'd also be happy getting all the attention himself.

He's great with people, including kids, and thrives in a home where he’s included in the action. Joel is affectionate, social, and has the kind of happy-go-lucky spirit that makes him an instant favorite. This little guy would be happiest with an active family or someone who enjoys daily walks and playtime. He’s past the puppy chaos but still young and full of life, ready to bring joy and laughter into your home every single day.

Joel was clearly neglected for some time when he ended up at the shelter. His fur was severely matted and some of it had to be shaved so he has an interesting haircut right now but he hasn't let the neglect dampen his joyful spirit.

Joel's looking for someone who’ll love him as much as he loves everyone he meets.
