About me Hello, I'm Don Jose. I may be a bit shy at first, but give me some time and I promise to show you my sweet, gentle side. I was found with another dog, my best friend. We had each other's backs, always. It's the kind of loyalty I'd love to share with a new family. I'm a good listener, and love quiet moments. I'll be there for you, just like I was there for my friend. I'm not the most outgoing dog, but I believe in the power of a quiet, steady love. Adopt me, and let's discover the beauty of companionship together. My adoption fee is a bargain! Not only do you get my unconditional love and a new BFF, it includes my neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip, and even some cool coupons!
