Joey was born in March of 2019 at a farm in Michigan with a wry nose and a cleft palate. He was surrendered to us at only two weeks old by the farmer who decided he wanted to give Joey a chance at living a long and normal life.
The combination of Joey’s wry nose and cleft palate posed a threat to his safety. The veterinarians recommended a series of corrective surgeries to ensure he could breathe, eat and drink risk-free for the rest of his life.
Even though Joey endured several corrective surgeries on his face as a young calf, his time at the hospital didn’t dull his positive spirit. Joey is a kind and calm boy who gets along with humans and other animals. He still breathes heavy and slobbers adorably on everyone he comes into contact with. If you don’t mind a little drool, Joey loves neck scratches and face rubs.
