He currently lives with two dogs and does well with them. He is not possessive of toys, treats, or food and has never bitten or snapped. His owner told us, 'Joey likes to grumble if his sisters try to take one of his toys. He doesn't bite or snap. grumbling seems to be his way of letting us know he is there.' His owner also shared that Joey adapts very well and 'he has gone to day care, etc and always has a great time.' His owner wants us to know that, 'Joey is a wonderful dog. It breaks my hear to re-home him but due to my current situation, I have no choice. He is outgoing, doesn't let his blindness get in his way. He may run into something but immediately gets up and just goes the other way. Very playful. Would do very well with someone who is home most of the time.'
