Joyce is a beautiful girl but life hasn't always been easy for her. She ended up in a shelter from a home with multiple other dogs and while we do not really know what that home was like our girl came out of it with walls up. She is unsure of strangers and does not give her trust right away. Once someone has given her a chance, been properly introduced, and allowed her to realize they mean her no harm she does seem to warm up well. However once you are in with her you are IN and she is a sweet loving lady. Even though she has lived with other dogs in the past she does not seem to be a fan of them and does have some leash reactivity issues. We think she would do best in a home where she is the only dog, even better if she is the only pet, and older dog savvy children only. She is really smart gal is is learning to sit and seems to already be housebroken. When she is with her human friends she loves belly rubs, running with toys, playing tug. She is not great at fetch but she does like her toys being thrown for her to chase. Joyce is around 1 year old as of 1/19/26.
