Comments/Background:

Update 8/9/08:  Joey is going to his forever home tomorrow!!  After 5 months
in the shelter and two weeks at our home, he finally has a fabulous home and
a fabulous mommy to call his own forever!  We're so incredibly happy for
him.  We're going to miss him so much.  We love you Joey!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update 08/07/08:  Joey is doing fabulous in our home.  Everyday we are
falling more and more in love with him.  As he is so calm and cuddley and well
behaved!  Joey is still looking for his forever home and can not wait to be
some ones BEST FRIEND!  If you are looking for the best dog in the world,
contact us today!  Joey has yet to disappoint us!  Joey would do awesome
with a play mate and a fence to keep him safe would be even better!!!  Check
out his cute pictures below and of course his video above!  And Joey has now
learned how to lie down and shake hands!!  He learned both in about half an
hour.  He's so smart!!  And when he lies down he rolls on his side each time
for a belly rub.  He's such a little love bug!!

Update 08/03/08:  Yesterday Joey traveled to New York City to be on the
National TV Show, FOX & FRIENDS.  He was such a good boy and made
lots of new friends!  There was a lot of excitement back stage but he just laid
down and let us rub his belly, gave lots of kisses to everyone and enjoyed
many yummie cookies!  After the show we went outside and walked through
crowds of people in Time Square!  He was so unbelievably good.  He just
walked right by our sides and kept looking up to make sure we were still there.
 He did not bark or jump on anyone!  He played in Central Park for awhile too
and than took a long nap back on the ride home!  We were very happy with
the show and we hope Prince Chunk, the other kitty Snorty and Joey and all
the other homeless animals find new wonderful homes soon!  Be sure to check
out the video!

Update 08/02/08:  Joey is a STAR in NYC!!!

Update 07/31/08:  Today Joey practiced walking on a leash around our town.  
He was PERFECT.  Yes!  Perfect!  He walks better on a leash than our own
dogs!  He sees the neighbors out and about and looks but doesn't mind them at
all.  He does not pull and looks back often to make sure we are still coming.  :)
 So cute!  He cuddled with me on the couch today too.  The birds where
chirping like nuts and our little dog was out playing and Joey just was content
as ever sitting right by my side to get petted.  I was even eating crackers and
he never once begged for one!!!He amazes us so much.  Come meet this
cuddle bug today!

Update 07/30/08: NEW PICTURES ADDED TODAY!  Joey keep amazing
us every minute!  If you are reading this, you need to come adopt him ASAP!  
We are falling so much in love with him we may not be able to let him go
soon!  HURRY!!  But seriously, we have yet to find a flaw.  Joey can go from
being rough with Nero because that's Nero's favorite thing, to being gentle with
Guinness because she does not like playing rough, to being super gentle with
us humans, constantly checking in on us with his sweet thankful eyes and
getting his little head pat.  You wouldn't think a puppy who grew up in a
shelter would have manners but he has such great manners with other puppies
and humans.  Check out his pictures below of him romping with the Nero.  It
may look rough, but it's gentle/rough play and he can switch gears in a
second...even as fast as Guinness sticking her head in the middle of it like the
dumb puppy she is!!  The two big ones stop immediately and either give her
kisses or walk away and start again!

Update 07/29/08: Joey is having the time of his life!  He has become quite the
lady's man with our two girls, Nero and Guinness.  Lucky for us he has more
energy than them and they get all pooped and pass out peacefully!  Joey
surprises us every second.  He just is so SWEET!  I swear an infant could give
him a cookie with their delicate little fingers and Joey would gently take the
cookie without barely touching them.  We don't even have to remind him to sit
for the cookie anymore he knows!  Such a fast learner!  The first night he was
a little hesitant to go into the crate to sleep but now he just walks right in
knowing its safe.  He is still very nice to the kittys in our house and to little
George.  Joey has adjusted well to his foster home and we love every second
we spend with him.  But we really want to find him a forever home.  We think
someone with a fenced in yard and another playmate because he is full of
energy would be perfect for Joey!  Please contact us today to meet him!

Update 07/28/08:  A new beginning for Joey....Joey is now at his new foster
home!  He is doing wonderful! He's having tons and tons of fun in our fenced
in yard and can not wait to play with our puppies.  We let him settle down a
bit and let them sniff each other and all they wanted to do was wrestle and
play.  No growling or aggression, just crazy wagging tails.  We'll introduce
them gradually but we really think they'll get along great.  Joey loves our little
kiddie pool and plopped right in it!  He's so adorable and good.  We already
taught him to sit!!  Which he obviously didn't know before, but he's a very
smart boy when cookies are involved.  And he's so surprisingly gentle.  He
walked right by our fat cat and tiny dog and barely paid any attention and is
being great in the crate for a little nap.  We really think he's the greatest puppy
and can't wait to let him play with our two big dogs.  We really can't believe
no one adopted him.  He is an awesome dog so if you are interested in Joey
please contact us!  We will be adding pictures and videos SOON!!!But I added
one new one so check below!

Update 07/26/08:  Joey will be in foster care starting Monday 07/28/08.  His
time is up at the shelter.  If you are looking for a new best friend please
contact amberjoyc@gmail.com.  Thanks!  Look forward to lots of new photos!

Update 07/13/08:  So today Amber and Kate (futurebestfriend.com owners)
went to Camden County Animal Shelter to visit all the animals.  We hung out
with wonderful Joey for quite awhile!  He was a such a sweetheart and full of
energy!  I can't believe no one has adopted Joey yet.  He really is an awesome,
handsome guy and loves to swim!  We took a bunch of pictures of him so
please check him out and if you are looking for a new friend hurry in and meet
Joey today!  You won't regret it!  Seriously!  We wanted to take him home
with us but we already have 3 dogs so couldn't.

Please meet Joey!  This poor baby is a one year old labrador/terrier mixed
breed who is blind in his right eye.  It's very sad because Joey's blindness is a
resuly of an eye infection that was left untreated - Joey did not have to lose his
sight but for neglect!  Joey is a good boy and a typical puppy that was never
paid attention to - He needs his basic obedience training, to learn to love other
animals and how to act around children.  We are hoping that someone out
there will care for Joey the way his former owner did not - He needs love,
patience and affection!  If you cannot adopt Joey, perhaps you can foster him
and help mold this sweet, innocent pup into a good dog that you will be proud
of!  Please help this baby - Spending time in our shelter is not what he needs!

FLUIDS!
Look how handsome I am!!
PLAYTIME!!
Look at my gorgeous white chest!!  I really have the handsomest coat ever!
I may look tough but I'm a big softie.  Look I'm even submissive to a smaller girl!!
Big hug for my best friend Nero!
Now are you ready to laugh?! ...
Joey keeps a constant ear to ear smile on our faces!!
Nero:  "You think I look crazy?!  You're crazy for not taking Joey home TODAY!!"
But in all seriousness, as much as Joey loves to play, if
we're ever out of sight or every once in a while just to
check in, Joey stops playing and runs up to us to check in
and get that little head pat that he loves so much!  This is
his, THANKS MOMMY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, I'M
SO GRATEFUL AND I WILL PROVE THAT TO YOU
FOR AS LONG AS YOU WILL LET ME face.
