Joe is an awesome boy whose owner got a new job leaving poor Joe all alone for up to 12 hours a day. Joe needs more attention than that. He was used to being by himself up to 8 hours a day and can handle that very well. Joe is housebroken and is good with other dogs. He has been around children and likes their attention. Joe has been diagnosed with low thyroid levels and will need inexpensive medication daily. His coat & weight will improve with this medication. Joe could use a bit of basic obedience training to help him remember his manners.
