Joey

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Joey’s story is nothing short of remarkable. Born in a kill shelter in Romania to his mum, Mirela, Joey was one of nine puppies – tragically, the only one to survive. Against all odds, this little fighter pulled through, and today he has blossomed into an incredible young dog who is finally ready to find the loving forever home he has always deserved. Despite being born into such heartbreaking circumstances, Joey has a wonderfully happy and playful spirit. He is a bouncy, cheerful pup who is beginning to discover just how exciting life can be. You can really see his eagerness to play, explore, and enjoy the world around him, and watching his personality grow is incredibly rewarding. Joey is a sweet-natured boy who simply wants a chance to learn what it means to be part of a loving family. Joey has so much potential and, with patience and encouragement, will continue to grow in confidence every day. He is now looking for a home that can help guide him through all the exciting experiences puppyhood and family life should bring – fun adventures, cosy evenings, learning new things, and most importantly, feeling safe and loved.

About Joey

What life with Joey looks like

Joey is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Just For Dogs (East Midlands) in United Kingdom.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Joey, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Joey?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Just For Dogs (East Midlands) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Joey on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Joey if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Just For Dogs (East Midlands) will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Joey already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Joey isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Just For Dogs (East Midlands) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Joey and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
