History: Joy is a super beautiful girl who was recently welcomed to rescue and will warm your heart with her smile and happy personality. She has her paws crossed to find her forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Joy definitely lives up to her name - she is a naturally happy girl! Joy has the most strikingly beautiful and expressive brown eyes I've ever seen. She is gentle, nurturing and forgiving, yet she needs a quiet and patient home that will give her the time she needs to gain confidence and come out of her shell.
She is still shy around people and finds her kennel to be where she runs to when she's scared. Loud noises and quick movements have her retreating to her kennel, however when we sit calmly on the ground she happily comes up to us and nuzzles us for pets. A home with another confident dog would be helpful to teach her about how wonderful living in a home can be!
Joy has yet to have an accident in the house! She doesn't have access to every room, but the one she does have access to she keeps very tidy.
So far her favorite activities are getting zoomies in the yard, playing with toys in the yard and napping on the couch! She was recently rustling around in her kennel in the middle of the night so I assumed she had to potty. We get outside and nope! She just had to get her zoomies out before going back to bed. She really does have a big personality!
Joy is learning something new every day. She recently learned how to go down the deck stairs, and once she did for the first time she came running to me with her tail wagging and the biggest grin on her face. You can tell she is a quick learner and feels proud when she does something new or correct!
Joy is looking for a home that will give her space to do things in her own time and on her own terms. I am confident she will be a loving and loyal best friend in no time!
*She is not yet spayed, so at this time any potential foster would need to quality for the foster to adopt program and finish out her medical appointments
Adoption Fee: $500 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
