Joanie is a bull terrier mix puppy. She was born around January 2012. The first day in her foster home she was using the doggy door to go outside to potty. She is extremely smart and very affectionate. She was given to a family and shortly after she came down with Parvo. They took her the to vet who treated her and got her well. When she was ready to go home, her family refused to come get her. She is very sweet and loves getting attention. She plays really well with the other dogs in her foster home. She ignores the cats. She has brown freckles and spots on her ears and black spots on her back. Please contact Vicky at AARF@Embarqmail.com for more information about this puppy or to schedule a meet and greet.
