About Joy

Everyone could use a little Joy, and that's exactly what this girl brings. Joy came from a tough beginning—she was abandoned, tied up outside with no food, water, or shelter by her previous owners. Even after all that, her spirit remains bright. Joy is loving with people, walks beautifully on leash, and is both gentle and affectionate. She gets along well with other dogs and cats, making her a great fit for a multi-pet home. Born on December 6th, 2020 (which makes her a curious and energetic Sagittarius), Joy weighs about 51 pounds and is spayed with vaccinations up to date. She’s currently on a slow-kill heartworm treatment, fully funded by Artemis, even after adoption—so you won’t have surprise vet bills for this. Joy is ready for a household that matches her loyalty with kindness. If you want a companion who’s resilient, easygoing, and eager for a forever home, Joy is waiting for you in Hackett, AR.
