Introducing Joy, the pup who truly lives up to her name! 🌟 At 5 years young, this dazzling Catahoula Leopard Dog is all about spreading happiness wherever she goes. Weighing in at a delightful 45 lbs, Joy has a remarkable talent for filling her surroundings with boundless joy and love! ✨ This charming girl is gentle and easy-going, seamlessly fitting into any family dynamic. She adores the company of other dogs—whether they’re big, small, young, or old! 🐾 Joy would thrive alongside a playful furry sibling who enjoys a good wrestling match and all the fun that comes with it. And after an exhilarating play session, she’s perfectly content to curl up by your feet or snuggle on the couch for a cozy evening of TV-watching. 📺💖 But wait, there’s more! Joy is fantastic with children, having shown nothing but sweetness and gentleness with an 8-year-old in her foster home. This delightful pup takes her treats politely and has a charming quirk of giving “hugs” by gently resting her paws on your waist. 🤗 Her tender spirit really shines around little ones, making her the perfect family companion! And what about those house manners? Well, Joy has nailed them! 🏠 - Fully potty trained whoo-hoo! 🚽 - Sleeps quietly in her crate all night (and actually enjoys it!) 🌙 - No guarding, no reactivity, no aggression – pure love! ❤️ - Walks nicely on the leash. Talk about a dream! 🦮 With a moderate energy level, Joy enjoys playful bursts followed by some well-earned downtime. She loves to zoom around in the morning but isn't a nonstop athlete—more of a close-to-home kind of gal. Whenever she’s ready to re-enter the house, she’ll politely let you know, making her a perfect companion for those cozy, relaxing days. 😌🏡 Despite an uncertain past, her spirit shines brightly. Joy is loving, trusting, and adaptable, always seeking companionship from her humans and furry friends. She’s ready to bring joy into someone’s life—maybe your life? 🥰 Joy is currently lounging in her loving foster home in the Houston, Texas area but the best part? She can travel out of state!🏞️ So why wait? Apply to welcome this precious pup into your home through the Buddy App today! 📲💖
