About Joy

Joy is a 1.5-year-old spayed female dog tipping the scales at about 50 lbs. This brave mama came from a noisy shelter in Louisiana where she selflessly cared for seven puppies. Now they are off to their forever homes, it’s time for Joy to enjoy life. She's fully embraced the couch potato lifestyle, relishing the time spent cuddling on the sofa or soaking up sun in the yard. For Joy’s forever home, she needs a family with at least one other friendly dog to share her space and dog bed. Though she hasn't been tested with cats, her easygoing nature suggests she would likely get along just fine. Joy is house-trained, good with dogs, and rides well in the car. She's also spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, microchipped, and current on preventatives. Her ideal family will have a fenced-in backyard and an adult who can spend more time at home, and children aged 7 and above are preferred, though younger kids might be considered.
