Pet's Story or Bio
Joey is an extraordinarily kind and healing soul. Ruthie Rish knew i needed him when i first emailed about him, because i had recently lost my human love Dave, was losing my best friend to lung cancer, and my dog was dying of an aggressive mouth tumor. i looked on Petfinder for someone to help me get through all that and Joey's eyes spoke to me right on the computer screen and i will forever be grateful for that picture.

He is the kindest soul ever and has made a zillion friends. Everyone thinks they are Joey's favorite :-) And that really says something true about him. He loves everyone and everything and is just purely wonderful.

He has an adopted younger brother and sister who idolize him, and a mom (me) who feels such a connection with his heart and soul, that he is like my soulmate. He has helped me to slowly start to heal my broken heart.

i will forever be grateful to Ruthie for not only saving Joey, curing him of heart worm and keeping him safe and sound during those 3+ years, but for knowing that he was exactly who i needed in my life at that time.

Thank you Ruthie. i will be sending you a separate donation but i hope this contest is a success for you and i thank you for all you do--you are an angel and i don't know what i would do without my beloved Joey:-)
