About Joy

Joy is a medium-sized Boston mix, and fitting to her name, she bounces back with surprising warmth after surviving terrible neglect. When she first arrived, she was thin and shut down, but with gentle care she’s blossoming into the kind of companion that makes you believe in second chances. Joy is making steady progress on her housebreaking, is already crate trained, and walks on a leash with surprising grace. Still, she’s sensitive and gets anxious if she thinks she’s let someone down, so she needs adopters who understand that love sometimes looks like patience and quiet reassurance. She’s a true social type—curious about cats and friendly with other dogs—so she’ll be happy in a home with animal playmates. Joy is spayed and current on her vaccines, so she’s ready for her fresh start. Families with children do well with her gentle, eager-to-please style. Her perfect match is a household with time, patience, and lots of affection to offer. Joy is ready for someone who sees her beyond her scars and helps her discover all the comfort and joy she deserves. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
