Here’s Your Quick Peek: PLEASE ASK FOR JOE'S FULL STORY!! Joe is a medium‑energy, very shy and shut down Terrier mix who is still learning that people can be kind. He came from a hoarding situation and is slowly decompressing. He needs a quiet, patient home that understands nervous rescue dogs and can give him the time he needs to feel safe. She cannot walk on a leash right now and will try to get away.
