Hi … my name is Joy! Read my bio to find out everything you need to know about me. If you think I might be the perfect pup for you, please go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org/forms and complete the adoption application online.
Who knew a cute pup in a plain brown wrapper would be overlooked for so long? Could you be Joy's hero?
Can you believe I was in 'doggy jail'? I think I had a family once, but no one came to find me. Foster Mom says 'It's their loss' ... whatever that means. I try to be a very good girl, and most of the time I do OK, but sometimes I get really rowdy when I have other rowdy friends to play with. And cats just bring out the worst in me. Sorry.
This sweet girl is so much fun to be around. She’s playful, sweet, snuggly, loveable … and most days she even listens well. She’s a very smart girl and learns quickly. She has a little shar-pei stubborn streak but she really does care whether her people are happy or not ... until she sees a cat ... or a squirrel ... or a deer ... anything that she feels the need to chase and eliminate. She’s mostly good with her foster siblings … although she can be a bit 'selective' when meeting new dogs. She’s pretty even-tempered but she could definitely hold her ground if somebody else started something. An experienced dog person and some obedience classes will do wonders to polish up this diamond-in-the-ruff!
