Meet Adoptable, Joy!
Joy is a female, 10-12 month old, 35lb, tan with white trim, medium breed mix. She is currently located in Duncan.
Joy didn’t have the easiest start in life. She was rescued this past winter after being found scared and tied up living in a pile of garbage, quite emaciated, wearing a collar so tight it had cut into her skin. But, despite her rough beginning and her 6 months of ongoing rehabilitation, she has blossomed into a sweet, affectionate, and playful pup who is ready for a fresh start with a patient and loving home.
Joy has truly lived up to her name. Joy is very affectionate with the people she knows, loves snuggles and belly rubs, and can be very playful. She is very smart and loves to learn new things, can be very gentle and sweet, but at times can be a bit rough when excited and overstimulated, so she may be best suited for a home without young kids). Joy is great with her foster dog sisters and would love a doggy friend, and likes to have plenty of toys to play with and keep her stimulated and busy; and don’t forget her favorite binkie! She is still a little wary of strangers at first, but warms up quickly with love and patience.
Joy would be ideal with a patient and loving family that will continue her training and give her the time she needs to feel safe. A home with another friendly dog would be great, but not required. Because of her energy, a home without young children is best. Someone who is home a lot or can be with her most of the time, would be ideal. She loves companionship! Joy is still working on being comfortable with leashed walks out in the big world, and will need someone to be patient, understanding, and dedicated to helping her reach her full potential. She loves car rides and playing with her dog friends at their houses.
Joy is house-trained (occasional accidents, but always on her pee pad!) Knows “sit” and has good recall with the foster family
in a fenced environment. Working on “stay” and learning more manners every day!
Joy has come such a long way from the scared, neglected pup she once was. Now, she’s ready to bring love and happiness to her forever family. If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly, and playful best friend, Joy might just be the perfect match for you!
