NS SPCA Adoptable Highlight – Joey

Joey is a handsome whirlwind of energy, who loves to talk! This 2 year old American Staffordshire Terrier mix is around 30kg, and is excited to find his forever family.​

Joey is on the search for an adult only home with no other pets, who are also able to commit to his special dietary needs. Once you have spent time with him you will see all the potential he has to offer and we know you won’t regret it.​

Joey has also been learning some new skills like walking nicely on-leash, keeping four paws on the floor and how to come when called. He still requires more training, time and patience to help stop mouthing and grabbing toys, blankets or towels out of hands. Joey’s mouthiness is triggered by exciting or new situations. Because of his strength, previous lack of training and socialization, Joey is looking for an adult only home with breed experience. While this sweet guy does love his familiar people, he needs time and patience warming up to new people. Joey is very much a person dog, and does not enjoy the company of other dogs. Joey has shown high prey drive towards small dogs, cats and other small animals and therefore Joey should be the only pet in the home. He is very food and toy motivated and loves to learn. It is highly recommended potential adopters attend training classes with Joey and have a plan for providing him with safe outlets for exercise.

Joey is available for adoption at the HRM Animal Redemption Center located at 201 Brownlow Ave, Suite 9 in Burnside. All meet and greets and adoptions are done by appointment only at this location, but last minute appointments are often available.
