Pet of the Week: Energetic Joey is Always Smiling

He's a 1 year old, 30 pound, male, Whippet / Shepherd mix.

"Joey" is the adoptable Pet of the Week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas. He's a 1 year old, 30 pound, male, Whippet / Shepherd mix.    

At a weight of 30 pounds, Joey is a medium sized dog. He's very active. That might come from the Whippet side of his family. And he's very smart. That could be the Shepherd influence. He knows several commands including, "Sit, Lie down, Shake, and Roll Over." Whether it's because of his age or because of his breeds...Joey seems to have non-stop energy and a big, happy smile.

His previous family surrendered him to RCHS when they said they could no longer to afford to have a dog.
