Meet Joplin a Chinese Crested /Poodle Mix, DNA confirmed. He is a sweetheart who's family had some health issues and needed to surrender him. 

Joplin is a very sweet and happy dog! He is good with the dogs in his foster home but prefers people. He can be a little shy at first, but once he gets to know you, he will be your best friend.  Joplin loves to play, so he would really love a playmate and a fenced yard to help burn off energy.  Then after playtime he’s ready to cuddle next to you on the couch. He is good with kids but will jump up on them so older kids are recommended. He would love a family who is active who wants a dog to play with!
