Joyce has had a tough go so far, but watching her decompress is something special. She recently started treatment for heartworm after testing positive, and the vet suspects her worn teeth are from years of scrounging for food. It's hard to peg her exact age, but she's likely around three years old. Now that Joyce feels safe, she settles into deep, peaceful sleep and her anxious pacing has just about faded away. She craves close contact when she rests, happily pressing in for comfort. Joyce is gentle, resilient, and deserves a place where someone will dote on her and let her be the cherished family member she has always deserved. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
