Meet Joey. Small in size, limitless in spirit.
Born with only two legs, Joey has never let that define him. His joy is boundless, his determination unwavering, and his love of life unmistakable. From everyday moments to the Puppy Bowl stage, Joey reminds us that resilience is powerful and possibility has no limits. His presence lights up every room and his story continues to inspire everyone he meets.
Joey is a proud Vintage Pet Rescue alum, where senior and special needs dogs are given the dignity, care, and lifelong love they deserve. Founded in 2017 by Kristen Peralta, Vintage Pet Rescue has saved more than 600 dogs and provides a true sanctuary for those often overlooked. Kristen shares her Rhode Island home with her husband Marc and a joyful pack of senior residents.

A reminder that strength comes in many forms and every life is worth celebrating.
