Rescued alongside his sister Jill, Joel is now looking for his forever home here in Southern Ontario. He is about a year old and weighs around 50lbs. He is a Saint Bernard mix but on the smaller side and with a lot less drool!

Joel is still getting used to home life and having a loving foster family. He does great with other dogs and we'd love to see him find a home with another dog to show him the ropes. He also is good with cats and children, but we prefer to see him go to a family with older children as he still gets spooked by loud noises. Joel's family will need to be patient with him and take things slow as he gets used to your home and being a part of the family.

If you would like to read more about Joel, you'll find his full profile with Niagara Dog Rescue here. You can also find the application to adopt here. If you are chosen to be Joel's adopter, our friends at Vansickle Pet Valu and Lundy's Lane Pet Valu will help you get started with 15% off your first purchase, a free bag of dog food and a free pet bath at their self wash station! Lastly, share this clip with family and friends who may be in search of a four legged best friend like Joel.
