Hi, I'm Joy, and I'm as happy as my name suggests! Foster mom says I'm the happiest dog she's ever fostered-and I have to say, I'm pretty proud of that! I'm still young, a little derpy, and full of energy, but I'm also smart and quick to learn. Whether I'm doing zoomies around the yard, playing tag with my doggie friends, or shredding empty frozen food boxes, I'm always having fun. I love meeting new people and showing off my joyful, wiggly self!
Having come from Bradford County Animal Shelter as an emaciated stray, I've come a long way. I'm still learning to be the best house dog I can be, but I'm doing great! I'm about 99% house-trained, though I sometimes get distracted (don't we all?), so if you see me pacing, just let me out, and I'll do my thing. I'm great in my crate and sleep soundly overnight with no accidents. I also do well in the car, and I'm super chill on a leash-can you believe it?
If you're looking for a joyful, playful, and affectionate pup who will fill your life with laughter and love, then I might just be the girl for you. I can't wait to meet you and show you how much fun life can be with me by your side!

More about this shelter
The Humane Society of North Central Florida was created in 2018 when the leadership of the Alachua County Humane Society, Gainesville Pet Rescue, and Helping Hands Pet Rescue decided to permanently join forces. By becoming the Humane Society of North Central Florida, our organizations were able to effectively streamline services for pets and pet owners, eliminate any duplication of services, maximize our community’s resources, and improve the life-saving abilities of the entire region.
Our founding organizations have been dedicated to serving pets in Alachua County for more than 40 years. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is a limited intake, no-kill animal rescue shelter. The animals in our facility are transferred from open-intake and/or managed admission municipal shelters across North Central Florida. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is an independent, local 501(c)(3) organization. As such, we do not receive funding from federal agencies, nor are we affiliated with any other state or national organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States or the ASPCA.
