Some dogs come by their names naturally! Joy is JOY!! She is crate trained, and pretty good on a leash but is still learning! Joy would do best in a quiet home with no children or cats. Though we feel positive that joy was severely abused we are committed to help her find love, know love and her best days are ahead! She suffered some great injuries from it, but we have been helped her heal well! Joy is still slow to warm up. To people but can you blame her? She experienced a cruel hand too long. She has come so far already so we hope someone will apply and gain a great dog, friend and loyal companion with her! That makes some people skip her but sadly they are missing out as she is an absolute sweetest, so beautiful and most loyal girl! She waits for pets and is learning to play with toys. She has the biggest smile! She runs with the best of them until she tires out. Joy is looking for a quiet place to rest and relax She's so pretty- You have to see her in person!!
